Goldman Sachs Investigated by CFTC Over Futures Trading Fees

The probe, initiated by a whistleblower's alert, examines the bank's fee structure for futures block trades amid a history of regulatory settlements.

Goldman Sachs is under investigation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for its futures trading fees, following a whistleblower's alert.
The probe focuses on the bank's fee structure for futures block trades and involves subpoenas issued to Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs has faced multiple settlements with the CFTC in the past, paying over $50 million in penalties last year alone.
The investigation is part of a broader regulatory scrutiny over Goldman's operational practices, including issues with swap dealer activities and swap data reporting.
Market reaction to the investigation news was muted, with Goldman Sachs shares falling only 0.3%.
