HSBC was fined $45 million as part of a settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) addressing charges its traders used manipulative and deceptive trading practices and that the bank committed recordkeeping failures related to a faulty third-party audio recording platform.
Registered swap dealer HSBC Bank USA violated the Commodity Exchange Act’s anti-fraud, anti-manipulation, and supervision provisions, the CFTC said Friday in its order.
