  • Statement Of Dissent By CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo On The Proposed Amendment To The RTO-ISO Order

    Date 10/05/2016

    I dissent from the proposed amendment to the final RTO-ISO Order issued by the Commission in 2013.

    For over three years, U.S. power market participants have been operating in reliance on the RTO-ISO Order. They have trusted in the reasonable, unambiguous understanding that transactions covered by the Order are exempt from all provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA or Act”) except for those specifically enumerated as reserved (the “Reserved Provisions”). They have relied on the plain language of the RTO-ISO Order that “[e]xempts … the execution of [specified] electric energy-related agreements, contracts and transactions … and any person or class of persons offering, entering into, rendering advice or rendering other services with respect thereto, from all provisions of the CEA except, in each case, the Commission’s general anti-fraud and anti-manipulation authority, and scienter-based prohibitions ....”Too bad for them."

    Electronic Trading in the Bond Markets

    Good morning. Thank you [Mark Monahan] for that introduction. I’m pleased to have this opportunity to join today’s conversation on the increasing automation of fixed income markets.

    Many of us have been in the securities business long enough to appreciate how the first electronic trading system—the NASDAQ quotation system that was launched in 1971—helped transform trading in the U.S. equities market. On the equities side, strong investor demand for faster executions, lower trading costs and more complete market information through limit order books helped spur the movement toward electronic trading. Today, nearly all stock markets both here in the U.S. and abroad are electronic.
