French bank Societe Generale said Monday it has asked France's market regulator to open an investigation into possible manipulation of its share price.

French bank Societe Generale said Monday it has asked France's market regulator to open an investigation into possible manipulation of its share price.

The bank, renowned for a multibillion-dollar trading scandal earlier this year, issued a statement formally denying "malicious rumors attributing to the bank significant losses in its structured products," which would have necessitated a recapitalization of the bank.

SocGen shares fell 2 percent to 49 euros ($66.83) Monday, while France's CAC-40 index was 11.18 percent higher.

After the market closed, the bank issued a second statement to say that business in the third quarter was "overall satisfactory in a volatile environment" and will lead to a profit in the period.
