NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase & Co has become the first bank to settle an antitrust lawsuit in which investors accused 12 major banks of rigging prices in the $5 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market.
The settlement with the largest U.S. bank was disclosed today in a letter from lawyers for JPMorgan and the plaintiffs and filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Terms were not disclosed.
A settlement agreement is expected to be filed with the court by the end of January.
