Hindenburg allegations tank Adani stocks…again. Companies owned by the Adani Group lost ~$2.4 billion in value yesterday after short-seller Hindenburg Research claimed the chair of India’s capital markets regulator didn’t thoroughly look into its earlier fraud allegations against the conglomerate because she had previously invested in offshore funds tied to Adani. It could have been worse for Adani: Earlier in the day, the companies were down ~$13.4 billion before making a partial comeback. At one point after Hindenburg made its initial allegations last year, the Adani Group shed $150 billion in value. Both Adani and the regulator deny any wrongdoing.
