HSBC Pays $175 Million for FX Trading Practices
HSBC Holdings is paying $175 million to the U.S. Federal Reserve for its practices in its foreign exchange trading business. The bank had failed to monitor chat rooms, where traders had communicated sensitive information.
“ The FED levied the fine for deficiencies in HSBC’s oversight of and internal controls over FX traders “
The HSBC traders were accused of sharing sensitive information of clients’ orders that would have given them the advantage to increase their trading profits, via their own positions.
