纽约调查Isdafix基准利率操纵案

New York’s banking regulator is probing anemerging benchmark trading scandal relating to thesuspected manipulation of US interest rate swaps,according to people familiar with the matter.

据知情人士称，纽约银行业监管机构正对与美国利率掉期操纵相关的一桩新的基准利率交易丑闻展开调查。

The Department of Financial Services investigationinto the so-called Isdafix is in its early stages andhas not yet honed in on particular banks, thepeople said.

这些知情人士表示，纽约金融服务管理局(Department ofFinancial Services)对所谓的Isdafix基准利率的调查刚刚开始，尚未针对具体银行。

The revelation follows the disclosure by the Financial Times on Friday that German regulatorBaFin had highlighted Deutsche Bank’s involvement in Isdafix in a scathing report on thelender triggered by the Libor-rigging affair.

英国《金融时报》上周五报道，德国联邦金融服务监管局(BaFin)在一份有关德意志银行(Deutsche Bank)的措辞严厉的报告中强调，该银行参与了操纵Isdafix的行为，这份报告是由伦敦银行间同业拆借利率(Libor)操纵案引发的。

BaFin found that a New York trader tried to rig Isdafix in 2010 to help the bank’s position atthe expense of fund management client Pimco. The regulator only became aware of the issueafter Pimco complained, according to BaFin.

德国联邦金融服务监管局发现，一纽约交易员在2010年曾试图操纵Isdafix，在损害基金管理客户太平洋投资管理公司(Pimco)利益的情况下帮助德意志银行的头寸。据德国联邦金融服务监管局称，该局是在太平洋投资管理公司提出控诉后才知晓此事的。

It took four years for Deutsche Bank to cut the bonus of the trader, the report said. It wasoutgoing co-chief executive Anshu Jainwho headed the relevant division at the time, BaFinsaid. Mr Jain resigned unexpectedly this month, weeks after the previously undisclosedBaFin report was delivered to the bank.

报告称，德意志银行用了4年时间削减该交易员的奖金。德国联邦金融服务监管局称，当时负责相关业务的是德意志银行即将离任的联合首席执行官安舒•贾恩(Anshu Jain)。在德国联邦金融服务监管局这份之前未公开的报告送交该银行几周之后，贾恩在本月辞职，令人意外。
