Regulators near pacts to settle US rate probes

US regulators are nearing settlements with multiple banks and broker ICAP for allegedly manipulating a financial benchmark used to calculate a wide range of interest-rate products, according to people familiar with the matter.

Several banks are expected to each face hundreds of millions of dollars in fines as part of agreements with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to resolve allegations their traders manipulated the ISDAfix swap rate, the people said.
