Monday, May 20, 6:54 AM Morgan Stanley (MS) finally unloads its Indian wealth-management unit, inking a deal to sell the business to Standard Chartered (SCBFF.PK) for an undisclosed amount.

Sunday, May 12, 5:13 PM Muddy Waters is short Standard Chartered (SCBFF.PK, SCDRF.OB), saying the market "misunderstands the amount of risk that's presently in the book." MW's Carson Block cites Standard Chartered's $1B load to Samin Tan, chairman of Bumi (PBMRF.PK), the coal company at the center of a dispute, and a $30M loan to Far Eastern Energy (FEEC.PK), with a market cap of $42M, as red flags. He says shorting Standard Chartered is "a very nice way to play the eventuality of the China unwind." Comment! [Quick Ideas, Financials]
Thursday, March 28, 9:21 AM The "generous" capital ratio imposed by the Bank of England - 7% by 2013's end vs. 10% in 2019 by Basel - may allow the country's lenders to avoid dilutive share shales. "There is no trigger for any fresh equity issuance," says analyst Ian Gordon, expecting "very limited" impact on existing capital plans. RBS -0.7%, LYG +0.7%, BCS +1.8%, HBC +1% premarket. Comment!

Wednesday, February 27, 9:57 AM Stanley Black & Decker (SWK +1.1%) completes its $850M acquisition of Hong Kong based Infastech from CVC and Standard Chartered.

Wednesday, February 27, 9:10 AM Morgan Stanley (MS) is in talks to sell its Indian wealth management business to Standard Chartered (SCBFF.PK), reports Bloomberg.

Thursday, December 6, 2012, 2:59 AM Standard Chartered (SCBFF.PK) expects to pay $330M in fines to settle accusations that its dealings with Iranian customers breached U.S. sanctions.

Meanwhile, the company forecast FY revenue and pretax profit growth of under 10%. (PR) 1 Comment [Financials, Top Stories]
Tuesday, November 27, 2012, 7:54 AM Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is upgraded to Buy at UBS, which believes Mark Carney's appointment to head the Bank of England signals a more conciliatory regulatory environment for U.K. banks. Gerard Lane of Shore Capital disagrees: "He strikes us as a hardliner." Citigroup notes average bank core tier 1 capital ratios are lower in Canada than in the U.K. Comment! [Financials]
Friday, November 2, 2012, 5:32 AM Citigroup (C), Deutsche Bank (DB), HSBC (HBC) and JPMorgan (JPM) will have to hold an extra 2.5% of Tier 1 Capital on top of the 7% minimum required under Basel III rules, regulators said yesterday. Barclays (BCS) and BNP Paribas will need an extra 2%, while eight banks, including BofA (BAC) and Goldman Sachs (GS), will need 1.5%. Overall, 28 banks are considered "global systemically important" and have to hold extra capital.

Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 3:33 PM Temasek Holdings - Singapore's sovereign wealth fund and the largest holder of Standard Chartered (SCBFF.PK) - is agitating for changes to the bank's board, according to sources. The news seemingly puts to bed the seemingly annual rumor Temasek is seeking a buyer for its 18% stake in the lender. Comment! [Financials]
Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 5:48 AM Singapore state-investment fund Temasek has approached potential suitors for its 18%, $6.1B stake in Standard Chartered (SCBFF.PK), the FT reports. The move could renew speculation about a takeover of the bank, which has in the past drawn interest from JPMorgan (JPM) and Santander (SAN), although StanChart's £34B market cap makes it a big fish to swallow. Comment! [Financials, M&A]
Thursday, September 13, 2012, 4:28 AM Treasury Department lawyers recommend a preliminary settlement between federal and state prosecutors and Standard Chartered over its dealings with Iran, the NYT reports.

Sunday, August 19, 2012, 4:24 AM StanChart (SCBFF.PK) plans to overhaul its board to strengthen its roster of non-executive directors after it came under fire from shareholders over its handling of the allegations about the bank's dealings with Iran, the FT reported on Friday.

Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 2:42 PM Standard Chartered (SCBFF.PK +9%) agrees to pay $340M to NY State to settle charges it laundered hundreds of billions of dollars from Iran.
