Global regulators imposed penalties totaling $3.4 billion on five major banks, including UBS (UBSN.VX), HSBC (HSBA.L) and Citigroup (C.N) on Wednesday for failing to stop their traders from trying to manipulate foreign exchange markets.
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) and JP Morgan (JPM.N) were also fined over attempts to rig currency benchmarks in a year-long probe that has put the largely unregulated $5 trillion-a-day market on a tighter leash, with dozens of dealers suspended or fired.
