It looks like banks might have rigged another huge market

The market for US Treasury bonds may have been rigged.
The plaintiffs — Cleveland
Bakers and Teamsters Pension Fund, represented by law firm Quinn
Emmanuel Urquhart & Sullivan — claim that Treasury dealers including
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley coordinated to manipulate
primary market Treasury auctions.
They cite data from Rosa
Abrantes-Metz, who has testified in other market-rigging cases and is
an adjunct associate professor at New York University.
According to her analysis, 69% of a certain type of Treasury auction — for so-called reissued Treasuries — look suspicious.
