US deal hurts Standard

Standard Chartered has seen its profits for the first nine months of the year dented by a settlement with US authorities over alleged sanction violations.

The bank agreed in August to pay $340 million (£211m) to a New York regulator to settle accusations that it hid illegal transactions with Iran and violated US sanctions law.
