(Reuters) - Electric-car maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc delayed a more than $1 billion offering of bonds backed by leases on its electric vehicles, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.

The move follows "buy now, pay later" lender Affirm Holdings Inc's announcement earlier this week to delay its bond offering.

Bond sales in the United States have ground to a halt after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, adding to challenges the funding market is already facing as global central banks tighten monetary policies due to surging inflation.
