Command of the Week
25th September 2018 – DRAM<GO>
Wondering what went wrong with the Indian Market on 21st September, which recorded the wildest ever move. This was led my selloff in NBFCs and Banks, especially the default by Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Ltd. which shocked credit markets, pushing up bond yields and spurring a selloff in banks that rely on money-market funding.
Use the Bloomberg Credit Monitor, Debt Distribution and Capital Structure tools to understand why IL&FS is having such an impact on the Indian Market. IL&FS started missing payments in late August amid surging short-term interest rates and cost overruns on projects due to delays in land acquisition and approvals. Its repayment troubles have in turn pushed up corporate borrowing costs, with the average yield on one-year BBB corporate notes topping 12 percent for the first time since 2014.
