Indian Markets yet again proved to be the weakest among the Emerging markets and most importantly the Asian pack. Sensex tumbled to a 5 month low yesterday after a private TV channel tried to expose the subprime link of ICICI Bank, which the bank later denied. However ICICI Bank and its overseas banking subsidiaries have an aggregate exposure of USD 2.2 billion in credit derivatives.As of January 31, 2008, the mark-to-market negative on this portfolio due to movement of credit spreads was about US$ 155 million.
