As an employee in a large bank, I follow news about leading banks on a daily basis. Yesterday I read an article about the preliminary findings of the investigation by the UK competition authority CMA. According to the investigation, Deutsche Bank and 4 other major banks (Citigroup, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Royal Bank of Canada) colluded in the bond market. Between 2009 and 2013, the banks shared sensitive information on UK government bonds in online Bloomberg chat rooms. Details of prices and trading strategies were shared, ultimately harming the British government and taxpayers.
The $DBK (+1,34 %) escaped a leniency penalty because it informed the CMA of the misconduct. $C (+0,18 %) also applied for leniency, and both banks admitted their involvement. The penalty for Citigroup is reduced. $HSBA (+1,12 %), $MS (+0,41 %) and $RY (+0,21 %) have not admitted any misconduct, and the amount of the potential penalties has not yet been determined.
The CMA's findings are preliminary and investigations are ongoing. Have you heard about the investigations?

Twitter ($TWTR) - Jack Dorsey is stepping down from his role as CEO. He is succeeded by former chief technology officer Agrawal. The Stanford graduate enjoys a good reputation within Twitter, but his promotion to CEO comes as a surprise to the staff, who would have preferred an established manager from the tech world. Agrawal has big tasks ahead of him, as Twitter is exposed to strong competitive pressure, but ex-CEO Jack Dorsey trusts him blindly.
Meta ($FB (+0,16 %)) - The U.K.'s competition watchdog CMA classifies Meta's acquisition of Giphy as anti-competitive and calls for a resale. It says the deal creates significant market power that would make it harder for other platforms to access GIF files.

Omicron ($OMIC (+0,02 %)) - When you hear this word, the first thing that comes to mind is the new Covid-19 variant, but in this case, we are talking about cryptocurrencies.
Omicron token, which was very unknown a few days ago, gained 1100% in value thanks to the Covid-19 viral mutation of the same name.
On November 27, the token was trading at $64 and jumped up to $711 by November 29.
However, within a few hours, the token lost 75% again.
Today, the Omicron Coin is trading at around $500.
Bitcoin ($BTC (+1,62 %)) - not a safe haven after all?- While many investors call Bitcoin a safe haven when other assets like stocks & precious metals crash, reality shows otherwise.
Last Friday, Bitcoin fell 6% after it came out that there is a new viral mutation. The S&P 500 (US78378X1072) lost only - 2.44%.
Bitcoin also lost 26% during the first Coronacrash in March 2020.
Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA has this to say:
"This has dealt a fatal blow to its reputation as a safe haven".
