Shares of State Bank of India (SBI) slipped over 5 per cent in the intra-day trade on Thursday after news agency Bloomberg reported that the Government has asked SBI to form a consortium for stake purchase of the Yes Bank. The stock, however, reversed all its losses later and turned green. While on the other hand Shares of YES Bank spiked over 29 per cent and ended at Rs.36.80. YES Bank has so far failed to bring a strategic investor. Reports recently suggested that the private bank had approached mutual funds for raising fresh equity capital worth $300-$500 million. It also had to postpone its December 2019 quarter results as it was in talks with potential investors for raising equity capital.
