In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that — on paper at least — I think the telecoms giant may be one of the FTSE 100‘s greatest value shares.

[ad_1] By Dharamraj Dhutia MUMBAI (Reuters) -Indian government bond yields and overnight index swap rates are set to continue their downward trend, as expectations that the central bank will infuse further liquidity and lower interest rates boost investor sentiment, analysts and traders said. Even the Reserve Bank of India’s lower-than-expected surplus transfer to the government is unlikely to impact demand in the short term and bond yields, which move inversely to prices, could dip further as the June 6 monetary policy decision looms, they added.

[ad_1] Australia’s largest carbon market player, GreenCollar, has quit the federal government’s voluntary carbon neutral program, Climate Active.

GreenCollar is among many Australian organisations that develop emissions-reduction projects, such as storing carbon in vegetation. Upon exiting the Climate Active scheme, GreenCollar co-founder…
