Following FBI Director Chris Wray's announcement that he would resign early next year, the Adani Group stocks jumped by 9% ($28,000 crores) intraday on December 12.

The announcement comes after Republican President-elect Donald Trump made it clear that he intended to fire the official and install Indian-American Kash Patel in his place.

This is the second FBI Director to be driven out by Trump. Trump fired Wray's predecessor, James Comey, after souring on him over the FBI's investigation into accusations of Russian influence in Trump's successful 2016 campaign.
