💸"Potential Benefits of Prepaying Loans: Adani Group Recently Paid 7000+ Cr Share-Backed Loan"

[THREAD🧵]👇

Mainly 2 Reasons:

1) Adani can avoid the possibility of margin calls on pledged shares and mitigate additional selling pressure in the market.

#AdaniGroups #Adani
Margin Call: When a company's shares go down below a preset value that can cover the bank's loan value, the bank will ask for more money or shares as a guarantee that the loan will be paid back.
If the business owner is unable to meet the bank's request for additional funds or collateral, the bank has the authority to sell the pledged shares on the stock market to secure repayment of the loan.

This can create a cycle of more selling.

"The Bond Paradox: Why Longer Term Bonds Yield Less than Short Term Bonds?"

Yield= Return of Investment on Bond

[THREAD🧵]👇

1) During this current period of uncertainty, investors may be willing to accept lower yields on safer longer-term bonds.

#Powell #TreasuryBills #Fed
This can increase demand for longer-term bonds.

When the demand for a bond increases, its price goes up, leading to investors buying bonds at a premium and ultimately resulting in a decrease in yield or return.
2) Central banks may increase short-term interest rates to control inflation or cool down an overheating economy.

Investors may opt for fixed deposits with banks as they offer a more attractive rate of return, causing a decline in demand for existing shorter-term bonds.
