Price manipulation enforcement actions

This library records 311 enforcement actions tagged price manipulation. Price manipulation is trading intended to create an artificial price — one that does not reflect genuine supply and demand — and it is the general charge a regulator brings when the conduct does not fit a more specific named technique.

Actions are listed newest first. Each row links to a case page carrying the regulator's own release and, where one was published, the complaint. For how this technique works and what statute it engages, read the price manipulation technique page.
