Rupee edges lower as dollar sales by foreign banks offset most of greenback demand

The Indian rupee weakened as corporate hedging and speculators increased demand for the dollar, which was offset by foreign banks' dollar sales. The rupee closed at 87.0650 per dollar from a previous 86.9500. A rise in local equities and foreign portfolio investments helped stabilize the rupee, despite tariff concerns. Traders are awaiting the Federal Reserve Chair’s upcoming speech for insights on U.S. interest rates, which could impact the dollar's strength.

IIFL looks to raise $1.2 bn in debt amid RBI ban

IIFL Finance, an Indian non-bank lender, plans to raise INR 100 billion ($1.2 billion) in debt over the next six months in an effort to diversify its borrowing sources and recover from a recent ban. The Reserve Bank of India had banned IIFL Finance from sanctioning and disbursing gold loans, citing supervisory concerns. The ban was recently lifted, prompting the company to reassess its funding needs. IIFL Finance aims to reduce bank borrowing to under 50% and explore external commercial borrowings, dollar bonds, local bonds, and other non-bank sources for its incremental borrowing needs. The company also plans to diversify its loan products and recruit more employees.

Yes Bank, IDFC First Bank seek to revive corporate lending

Yes Bank and IDFC First Bank, two former large corporate lenders, are returning to their old business of corporate lending after a gap of nearly four years. The banks aim to focus on strong corporate loan growth while stating that this move does not signify a shift in strategy. Both banks had experienced setbacks from aggressive corporate lending in the past, leading to diversification. However, with legacy corporate loans being cleaned up, they now intend to gradually increase such advances. Higher slippages and muted demand for credit are among the challenges they face in this endeavor.

Elon Musk privately told bankers they won't lose money on the Twitter deal. But banks are already expected to lose at least $2 billion.

Elon Musk has reassured bankers who supported his $13 billion loan for the Twitter buyout that they won't lose money on the deal. This comes as banks face the prospect of losing around $2 billion if they sell off the debt currently. Musk made various sources of loans, including from Bank of America, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Mizuho, Morgan Stanley, and Société Générale for the risky purchase of Twitter, which is still a negative cash-flow business. Advertisers leaving the platform due to controversial comments by Musk have added to the financial challenges.
