SEBI Lifts Ban on JPMorgan Unit Amid Ongoing Market Manipulation Probe
India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) lifted a trading ban on JPMorgan's Mauritius-based unit after it deposited 29.6 million rupees linked to alleged market manipulation during a closing auction on the BSE in August. While the ban was lifted, SEBI's investigation continues amid concerns over the new auction-based system for closing prices, which has faced volatility and manipulation allegations. SEBI has also increased scrutiny of foreign traders, including past probes into firms like Jane Street, aiming to protect retail investors in India's expanding stock market.
