A former Barclays Plc banker on trial for rigging a key interest rate benchmark said she never considered why traders asked for rate submissions or discussed it with her manager.
Sisse Bohart, 41, who worked as a junior trader on the money desk, said she would always try to accommodate Philippe Moryoussef when he requested higher or lower fixings for the euro interbank offered rate. Moryoussef, who worked at Barclays, and Christian Bittar, a trader at Deutsche Bank AG, had amassed huge trading positions that would be affected by the rates.
