04:18 AM EDT, 09/18/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Apple (AAPL) is set to launch Apple Pay in India next month in collaboration with Mumbai-based Axis Bank's credit cards, Reuters reported Friday, citing three sources familiar with the matter. The iPhone maker is also in talks with Axis Bank's larger private sector competitors, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, for the rollout of its digital wallet service. However, they are yet to reach commercial terms, the media outlet added. Apple's payment service would allow Indian iPhone users to make contactless purchases using tokenized card information stored on their devices, Reuters reported. Apple, Axis, HDFC and ICICI did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

The US Treasury will conduct auctions of two-year, five-year, and seven-year Treasury bonds next week. Currently, traders are racing to borrow bonds to short them, driving the borrowing costs for short-term Treasuries sharply higher. On Friday, the overnight repo rate for borrowing the current two-year Treasury was about 0.79%, while the rate for the five-year even dropped to as low as -0.85%. In contrast, the repo rate for regular Treasuries was around 3.88%.
