What landed today

What this tells us

None of today’s actions references a parallel criminal proceeding. Every action today falls under one technique, which is unusual and is more likely to reflect a coordinated sweep than a shift in what regulators are looking at. A single day tells you very little on its own — enforcement counts are dominated by the timing of announcements rather than by anything happening in markets. The year index and the charts are where a trend would show up, if there were one.
