Adani Enterprises shares jumped 0.38%, while that of Adani Ports and Adani Power rose 1.92% and 2.84%, respectively. Adani Wilmar and Adani Green also ended the day in green, and on the other hand, Adani Total Gas and Adani Energy closed with cuts. Adani stocks held steady for the past few days despite a Hindenburg-like ambush from George Soros-backed Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). The report claimed that two men who secretly invested in the conglomerate have close ties with the Adani family, adding that the two men have also served as directors and shareholders in Adani Group companies and companies associated with Gautam Adani's brother Vinod Adani. Meanwhile, Adani Group has dismissed the allegations made by OCCRP. The conglomerate said reports appear to be yet another concerted bid by Soros-funded interests supported by a section of the foreign media to revive the meritless Hindenburg report. Adani stocks had seen a severe rout in the market cap following corporate governance allegations by Hindenburg Research early this year.

China's yuan finished the domestic session on Friday at its weakest since the global financial crisis, hit by capital outflow pressures as the economy struggles. A growing yield gap with other major economies, particularly the United States, has also put fresh pressure on the yuan and a number of other emerging currencies. The onshore yuan ended the domestic trading session at 7.3415 per dollar, its weakest close since Dec.26, 2007. The yuan, one of region's worst performing currencies, has lost 1.0% against the dollar so far this week and depreciated roughly 6.1% so far this year as the dollar climbed and China's post-pandemic recovery quickly lost steam.
