In a significant move underscoring its commitment to fight market manipulation, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) imposed a fine of $45m on a top-tier bank in May 2023. Eventus, a multi-asset class trade surveillance, algo monitoring and risk controls solutions provider, has explored what firms can do to avoid a similar incident. 

Legalwise, it has not been a great week for Wells Fargo. First it was ordered by a US regulator to pay $14m for failing to uphold conduct standards and then a jury ordered the financial services company to pay $200m for infringing on two patents.
