Rabobank was slapped with a €26.6 million ($29 million) European Union antitrust fine after traders colluded with counterparts at Deutsche Bank AG over euro-dominated bonds and government-guaranteed bonds.

The European Commission on Wednesday said its investigation unearthed evidence that between 2006 and 2016 traders exchanged commercially sensitive information and coordinated their buying and pricing strategies.
