Economic turmoil is never a positive for M&A activity. Uncertainty may result in specific, isolated opportunities, but it generally leads to a reluctance to do transactions because buyers can't predict their own future, much less get an exact handle on what they're buying. The current market instability has reduced transaction activity across the board, and particularly in the financial sector, which has been a huge M&A driver in recent years.
