NEW YORK, Might 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. Securities and Alternate Fee is concentrated on figuring out and prosecuting any type of misconduct that may threaten traders, capital formation or markets extra broadly, SEC Chair Gary Gensler advised Reuters on Thursday.
Gensler made the remark in a written response when requested a couple of Reuters report that federal and state regulators had been assessing the potential of “market manipulation” behind large strikes in banking share costs in latest days.
“As I’ve stated, in occasions of elevated volatility and uncertainty, the SEC is especially targeted on figuring out and prosecuting any type of misconduct that may threaten traders, capital formation, or the markets extra broadly,” he stated.
