Get all the latest Share Market trends and news to set you up for the week ahead.

India’s financial regulator SEBI has asked credit rating firms to share details on of all ratings of local loans and securities of entities under the Adani Group.

What Happened? The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), per an Economic Times report, asked several rating companies last week to provide the regulator information on outstanding ratings, outlook, and possible updates from any discussions with Adani Group officials.

It is worth noting that no Indian credit rating agency has updated their ratings of Adani Group companies since the bombshell report dropped by short-seller Hindenburg Research on January 24.

The companies part of the Adani Group conglomerate have shed between 21.7% and 77.47% in value over the past month, with Adani Total Gas losing the most value.

A sharp dip in share price of a company is among the ‘material events’ that rating agencies generally factor in to review a borrower’s rating and outlook, or put it under ‘rating watch’, per the ET report.
