JPMorgan Chase Admits Trade Reporting Gaps

JPMorgan Chase's filing was in response to government inquiries about its trading processes.

"While the identified gaps represent a fraction of the overall activity across the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB), the data gap on one venue, which largely consisted of sponsored client access activity, was significant," the bank said in the filing, according to Reuters.

However, JPMorgan Chase clarified that it has not identified "any employee misconduct, harm to clients or the market."

JPMorgan Chase said the $350 million penalties are expected to resolve the issue with two US regulators, but it did not specify the involved agencies.

The bank further noted that it is now engaged in "advanced negotiations" with a third regulator, although it remains uncertain whether these negotiations will lead to a resolution.
