Dollar bonds of Adani Group extend gains even after Moody's warning

The U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by entities of India's Adani Group extended gains on Friday.

The dollar bonds of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, Adani Transmission, Adani Green Energy and Adani Electricity Mumbai were all trading in the green.

Bonds of Adani Green Energy maturing in September 2024 was among the top gainers after hitting a record low in the previous session. It was trading 7.32 cents higher, at 67.59 cents.

Earlier in the day, credit ratings agency Moody's warned that the recent sell-off in Adani group's shares after a short-seller's report could reduce the conglomerate's ability to raise capital. It, however, it did not change its ratings on the group's companies.

Meanwhile, its peer Fitch saw no immediate impact on its ratings and said that it did not expect material changes to Adani Group's cash flow forecast.

In a scathing report last week, Hindenburg Research questioned the conglomerate's debt levels and use of tax havens. Billionaire chairman, Gautam Adani, called the report baseless and affirmed its financials are strong.
