S&P Dow Jones Indices Europe Dashboard

• Despite reaching all-time highs earlier in the month, the S&P Europe 350® finished January in the red, ending a four-month streak of gains. 
• Weak economic growth in the Eurozone weighed on sentiment, and equities were pulled further into the red on the final day of trading based on further indications that a newly-emerged virus could severely impact growth—particularly in China, the world’s second-largest economy.

Date 31/01/2020

Overview

Reasonably designed.  Balanced in approach.  And workable in practice – both for market participants and for the Commission.  These are the 3 guideposts by which I have evaluated the proposal before us to update the Commission’s rules regarding position limits for derivatives.  Is it reasonable in its design?  Is it balanced in its approach?  And is it workable in practice for both market participants and the Commission?  Overall, I believe the answer to each of these questions is yes, and I therefore support the publication of this proposal for public comment.
