The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced three related enforcement actions arising from trading in U.S. Treasury 30-year bonds minutes before the Treasury Department announced, on Oct. 31, 2001, that it would no longer issue such bonds. The Treasury Department's announcement had a dramatic market impact, causing the largest one-day price movement in the 30-year bond since October 1987. Goldman Sachs & Company (Goldman Sachs), Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS), and Peter Davis, the individual who misappropriated the Treasury Department information that was subject to a news embargo, will pay a total of over $10.3 million to settle the Commission's actions.
