The Nikkei is down 1.5% while the Hang Seng is trading lower by 2.5%. The Shanghai Composite is trading lower by 1.2%.

Is the worst over for Adani Group stocks?

The rally in Adani group stocks continued yesterday and remained unabated for the seventh consecutive trading session as investors looked beyond the allegations made in the scathing Hindenburg report.

Out of 10 Adani stocks, 5 of them - Adani Green, Adani Wilmar, Adani Total Gas, Adani Transmission and Adani Power - ended higher by 5% at their circuit limits.

Following the up move, the combined market capitalisation of all Adani stocks has crossed the Rs 9 trillion (tn) mark, but it is still half of what it used to be before the Adani-Hindenburg saga.

The rally in Adani group stocks, which began after the group started roadshows to convince investors of the strength of its balance sheets, got another shot in the arm last night after it was reported that Gautam Adani and his family prepaid all borrowings backed by the company shares.
