Adani report fallout: Banking, LIC shares crack
The Life Insurance Corp. of India headquarters in Mumbai. Photographer: Dhiraj Singh/Bloomberg Shares of Indian banks and Life Insurance Corp. of India plunged on Friday amid concerns about their exposure to the Adani Group following a scathing short-seller report. The NSE Bank Nifty Index extended declines of the previous session, underperforming broader stock benchmarks. Bank of Baroda and State Bank of India were among the biggest decliners. “Negative sentiment is prevailing in the market, which is weighing on bank stocks,” said Kranthi Bathini, chief market strategist at WealthMills Securities Pvt. “Some of it is due to worries about Adani collateral,” although there’s also a bout of profit-taking after the rally in recent months, he added. Indian banks have reported sterling results over the past weeks, with their quarterly profits soaring driven by scorching credit demand. That euphoria has now been overshadowed by the drama unfolding in the country after US … [Read more...] about Adani report fallout: Banking, LIC shares crack
Why are NCD IPOs important to invest in?
Everyone has the perpetual desire to earn and save money and has the expectancy to grow their money multifold. It’s a perennial search for options and one can equate the financial market to the ocean. The German linguist Heinrich Zimmer once described the ocean as “limitless and immortal, the beginning and end of all the things on earth”. Equivalently the financial market has never been run short of investment options or investment possibilities. Hence, the plethora of options for making money grows for future purposes, and people are caught in the middle of what options might be the better choice to get a Fixed return for a shorter or longer duration. As the ocean has the biggest fish, the finance market has the FD (Fixed Deposit) which has been predominantly trusted by investors. There are other better yield instrument options available, yet those instruments lack adequate trust among investors. Lately, equity, mutual funds, PPF, crypto, and Government bonds have become the … [Read more...] about Why are NCD IPOs important to invest in?

Rupee bond sales set to halt as India upgrades platform
Indian Rupee Rupee-denominated bond sales are set to grind to a halt in a few days as India’s government upgrades an online portal used by companies to file regulatory documents. Starting Jan. 7, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal will be unavailable for companies to file a so-called PAS-3 form, or “return-of-allotment” form, as the administration migrates to a new version of its e-filing platform. The service will be unavailable until Jan. 22, according to a statement on the ministry’s website. The move could delay new sales because issuers can’t use funds raised through the sale of any bonds until they file the return-of-allotment form, which lists all security holders. “PAS-3 form is filed to the Registrar of Companies using the MCA portal, and only after filing this form can the bond proceeds be used,” said Jayen Shah, founder of Mavuca Capital Advisors Pvt., a fintech investment banking firm. “Given e-filings can’t be done, it will hurt issuance during this … [Read more...] about Rupee bond sales set to halt as India upgrades platform
