Shell agrees to acquire BG Group for 13.67 pounds per share in cash and stock, boosting reserves by about 25 percent and expanding LNG exposure with offshore assets in Australia and Brazil. The proposed takeover signals potential new wave of mega mergers as energy firms seek growth amid lower oil prices. Analysts note many oil companies face cost pressure and look to consolidation to protect margins.

Some saw June hikes possible if inflation firmed, others urged waiting into later 2015 or even 2016 amid low inflation and energy-dollar effects. Yellen warned against impatience, stressing data dependence and gradual moves.
