Commercial Metals Co. (NYSE: CMC) is up nearly 23% on more than 6 times normal daily volume shortly before noon today. Shares are trading at $14.04, following a takeover offer of $1.73 billion from Carl Icahn.

Cemex, SAB de C.V. (NYSE: CX) is up nearly 20%, at $4.16 on essentially normal volume of nearly 7.5 million shares traded. This could be the result of some technical measures of the stock price.
