Platts publishes data and correspondence used to determine a price assessment and provides this data to regulators when requested, said Dave Ernsberger, global head of pricing and market insight for S&amp;P Global Platts.<blockquote>在回应路透社的置评请求时，普氏能源资讯表示，它会进行审查以确保其价格评估的完整性。标准普尔全球普氏能源资讯定价和市场洞察全球主管戴夫·恩斯伯格(Dave Ernsberger)表示，普氏能源资讯发布用于确定价格评估的数据和信件，并应要求向监管机构提供这些数据。</blockquote> \"We've spoken with U.S. and global authorities across a whole range of markets for many years,\" Ernsberger said.<blockquote>“多年来，我们一直在与美国和全球各个市场的当局进行交谈，”恩斯伯格说。</blockquote> He declined to comment on any potential probes.<blockquote>他拒绝对任何潜在的调查发表评论。</blockquote> A spokesperson for the Justice Department declined to comment.<blockquote>司法部发言人拒绝置评。</blockquote> COMMODITIES SCRUTINY<blockquote>商品审查</blockquote> Over the past decade, authorities globally have levied multibillion-dollar fines and pursued criminal charges against banks and traders for banding together to rig global benchmarks, most notoriously the London Interbank Offered Rate.<blockquote>过去十年，全球当局对银行和交易员处以数十亿美元的罚款，并对联合操纵全球基准（最臭名昭著的是伦敦银行同业拆借利率）提起刑事指控。</blockquote> While U.S. criminal authorities pursued cases against energy traders in the 2000s related to benchmark-rigging, in the years that followed commodities market manipulation was largely the domain of civil agencies including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.<blockquote>虽然美国刑事当局在2000年代对能源交易员提起了与操纵基准有关的案件，但在随后的几年里，大宗商品市场操纵主要是包括商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)和联邦能源监管委员会在内的民事机构的领域。</blockquote> Since 2019, however, the Justice Department, working with the CFTC, has ramped up scrutiny of the commodities market via a specialist unit within its Washington-based fraud division. That unit has developed sophisticated data analytics tools to more quickly detect misconduct, Reuters reported&nbsp;last year.<blockquote>然而，自2019年以来，司法部与CFTC合作，通过其位于华盛顿的欺诈部门内的一个专业部门加强了对大宗商品市场的审查。据路透社去年报道，该部门开发了复杂的数据分析工具，可以更快地发现不当行为。</blockquote> While the unit initially focused on commodities futures spoofing, a type of futures market manipulation, it now has the tools and expertise to dig into other areas of the market, including industry benchmarks operated by price reporting agencies, said one of the sources.<blockquote>其中一位消息人士表示，虽然该部门最初专注于大宗商品期货欺骗（一种期货市场操纵），但现在它拥有深入研究市场其他领域的工具和专业知识，包括价格报告机构运营的行业基准。</blockquote> The agency has also investigated some of the world's largest energy trading companies for bribery, including Dutch trading giant Vitol.<blockquote>该机构还调查了一些全球最大的能源贸易公司的贿赂行为，包括荷兰贸易巨头维多。</blockquote> That and another recent case identified misconduct in relation to Platts' benchmarks.<blockquote>这起案件和最近的另一起案件揭露了与普氏能源资讯基准相关的不当行为。</blockquote> When settling bribery charges with the Justice Department in December last year, Vitol also settled related charges brought by the CFTC. As part of that settlement, Vitol paid a civil penalty to the CFTC to resolve charges of attempted manipulation of two Platts physical oil benchmarks.<blockquote>在去年12月与司法部和解贿赂指控时，Vitol也和解了CFTC提出的相关指控。作为和解的一部分，维多向CFTC支付了民事罚款，以解决试图操纵两个普氏实物石油基准的指控。</blockquote> Vitol said at the time it was committed to upholding the law and had cooperated \"extensively\" throughout the investigation. The company neither admitted nor denied the CFTC's allegations.<blockquote>维多当时表示，它致力于维护法律，并在整个调查过程中“广泛”合作。该公司既没有承认也没有否认CFTC的指控。</blockquote> In March, a former oil trader for Glencore Plc pleaded guilty to Justice Department charges that he conspired to manipulate the Platts benchmark for a type of oil.<blockquote>今年3月，嘉能可公司(Glencore Plc)的一名前石油交易员承认司法部指控他密谋操纵一种石油的普氏能源资讯基准。</blockquote> The Justice Department alleged that from September 2012 to August 2016 Emilio Jose Heredia Collado directed colleagues to place buy or sell orders during a Platts trading settlement window key to assessing the fuel oil price, court documents show.<blockquote>法庭文件显示，司法部声称，从2012年9月到2016年8月，埃米利奥·何塞·埃雷迪亚·科拉多(Emilio Jose Heredia Collado)指示同事在普氏交易结算窗口下买入或卖出订单，这是评估燃料油价格的关键。</blockquote> Heredia successfully swayed benchmark prices in order to benefit himself and his employers, the Justice Department alleged.<blockquote>司法部称，埃雷迪亚成功地左右了基准价格，以使自己和雇主受益。</blockquote> He is cooperating with an ongoing U.S. investigation, authorities have said in court filings as recently as August.<blockquote>当局在8月份的法庭文件中表示，他正在配合美国正在进行的调查。</blockquote> His attorney did not respond to requests for comment. Glencore declined to comment.<blockquote>他的律师没有回应置评请求。嘉能可拒绝置评。</blockquote> \"In both these cases, the regulators did not accuse Platts of wrongdoing or provide any evidence that attempts to manipulate our assessments were successful or that our assessments did not reflect market value,\" Platts said in a statement.<blockquote>普氏能源资讯在一份声明中表示：“在这两起案件中，监管机构都没有指控普氏能源资讯有不当行为，也没有提供任何证据证明操纵我们的评估成功了，或者我们的评估没有反映市场价值。”</blockquote> Other commodities traders are under Justice Department scrutiny. Energy trader Gunvor Group has said it is being probed by U.S. authorities&nbsp;for corruption in Ecuador after a former employee pleaded&nbsp;guilty to bribery charges in April.<blockquote>其他大宗商品交易商正在接受司法部的审查。能源贸易商贡沃尔集团(Gunvor Group)表示，在一名前雇员四月份承认贿赂指控后，该公司正在接受美国当局的腐败调查。</blockquote>","source":"lsy1612507957220","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>U.S. Justice Department probes suspected manipulation of Platts benchmarks - sources<blockquote>美国司法部调查涉嫌操纵普氏能源资讯基准——消息人士</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nU.S. Justice Department probes suspected manipulation of Platts benchmarks - sources<blockquote>美国司法部调查涉嫌操纵普氏能源资讯基准——消息人士</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nReuters2021-10-04 19:53\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating suspected manipulation of energy pricing benchmarks published by S&amp;P Global Platts, expanding the agency's crackdown on misconduct in the global commodities market, according to four people familiar with the matter.<blockquote>华盛顿（路透社）-美国。据四位知情人士透露，司法部正在调查标普全球普氏能源资讯发布的涉嫌操纵能源定价基准的行为，扩大了该机构对全球大宗商品市场不当行为的打压。</blockquote> London-based Platts is a data and news provider which focuses on energy, metal and agricultural commodities.
