UBS is open to compromise on capital requirements, proposing to limit risky investment banking to 30% of its business and potentially adding $5 billion in equity, though less than regulators demand. The bank faces a €172 million fine for participating in a bond trading cartel, which it may appeal. Additionally, UBS experienced a technical disruption affecting client payment transactions, with double debits reported, but the issue has been identified and will be corrected.
Dollar Tree is selling its struggling Family Dollar chain to Brigade Capital Management and Macellum Capital Management for $1 billion, a significant drop from the $9 billion it paid a decade ago. The decision aims to unlock shareholder value and address operational challenges, including store closures and management issues. Analysts view the sale as a necessary step to reposition Family Dollar for future success amid ongoing economic pressures and competition from larger retailers.
The European General Court has upheld a multi-million euro fine against UBS, UniCredit, and Nomura for their involvement in a cartel manipulating European government bond trading from 2007 to 2011. UBS's fine remains at €172 million, while fines for UniCredit and Nomura have been slightly reduced, totaling €363 million for all three banks. UBS is considering an appeal against the ruling.
The European Central Bank emphasizes caution regarding banking deregulation, highlighting the potential instability it can cause. Amid concerns from European banks about competitiveness against US counterparts, the ECB remains opposed to simplifying regulations that could undermine the banking system's resilience. The implementation of Basel rules faces delays, with the US postponing until 2028, while the European Commission plans to report on the banking system's state in 2026.

Unicredit, UBS, and Nomura have failed to overturn a multi-million euro fine imposed by the European Commission for colluding on prices in the trading of government bonds between 2007 and 2011. UBS faces the largest penalty at 172 million euros, while Nomura and Unicredit are fined nearly 126 million and 65 million euros, respectively. Seven banks were involved in the cartel, but some escaped penalties due to their cooperation as key witnesses.
The General Court of the European Union has upheld fines against UBS, Nomura, and UniCredit for participating in a cartel related to European government bonds, originally totaling 371 million euros. While the court confirmed the breaches of EU competition law, it reduced Nomura's fine to 125.65 million euros and UniCredit's to 65 million euros due to calculation errors. The banks are considering appeals to the European Court of Justice.
