The FT reports:

  • Barclays, Citigroup and Royal Bank of Scotland have frozen bonuses across swaths of their foreign exchange trading teams pending internal investigations into possible manipulation
  • bonus suspensions are targeted on the wider team rather than just the traders under investigation
  • bonuses will be withheld until reviews are concluded
  • bonus freeze has affected traders in London, New York and elsewhere, stretches beyond spot trading desks to derivative trading units
