The story
HSBC announced a fresh issue, reported at $1.5bn, of securities that are perpetual, subordinated and contingent convertible.
The story's tone is the average of its headlines' own scores. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
