In a key article published on Monday this week, perhaps arguably the most prestigious globaql mainstream financial newspaper of all, the Wall Street Journal, reported that at least 10 major global banks are being investigated for precious metals market rigging by the U.S. authorities.

The paper notes specifically that it has received reliable information that prosecutors in the Justice Department’s antitrust division are scrutinizing the benchmark price-setting process for gold, silver, platinum and palladium in London, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has opened a civil investigation, presumably into activities on the major commodities markets.
