Just two days after unveiling a $1 billion share buyback and robust first-half earnings, HSBC is tapping the debt market with an $3.25 billion senior unsecured note offering. The 11-year deal carries a 5.729% fixed coupon for the first decade before flipping to a floating rate, underscoring the bank's confidence in its funding strategy.
