SEBI Lifts Trading 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 Copthall and Mansi Share after they deposited approximately Rs 2.96 crore (about $311,230) linked to alleged unlawful gains from manipulative trades during the BSE Sensex closing auction on August 13. While both entities can now trade in India's capital markets, SEBI's investigation into the market manipulation allegations continues. The regulator noted sharp price movements during the auction and plans further regulatory measures regarding settlement price determination.
