Osborne may seek tougher measures for forex markets

New rules focusing on currency benchmarks set to be unveiled next week

George Osborne, the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer, is likely to announce a set of tougher measures to regulate foreign exchange markets on June 12, during a speech at the Mansion House in London.

The new guidelines will focus on currency benchmarks, which are currently the focus of a global probe over their possible manipulation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
