  • FIA November 2018 SEF Tracker

    Date 06/12/2018

    Total trading volume on SEFs averaged $621.9 billion in notional value per day during November 2018. That was down 13.9% percent from the previous month but up 9.7% from November 2017. The month-over-month decrease in trading volume was driven mainly by a drop in trading of interest rate swaps, which was down 14.4% from October 2018 but up 7.2% from November 2017.  On the other hand, trading of FX products in November 2018 continued at a high level; FX trading in November reached $57.3 billion in average daily notional value, the third lowest amount this year so far, but still higher than any month prior to 2018. In addition, credit default swap trading averaged $39.8 billion per day in November, the highest amount traded in that month of the year since FIA began reporting SEF data in 2014.

  • Statement Of CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo On Financial Stability Concerns Regarding Brexit

    Date 06/12/2018

    The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) continues to carefully monitor discussions between the United Kingdom (U.K.) and the other EU member states (EU27) regarding the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.  Uncertainty surrounding the effect of Brexit on the U.K. and EU27 financial markets is already having a substantial impact on entities and markets regulated by the CFTC.  If not dispelled, such uncertainty has the potential to create instability in the global derivatives market.  For this reason, we look forward to the U.K. and EU27 settling the terms of Brexit in a manner that provides sufficient legal and regulatory certainty to market participants so that European and international derivatives markets can continue to carry out their essential role in economic risk transfer essential to global economic growth.

    I welcome recent statements from European authorities, including the European Commission (EC) and the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA), that they will act to ensure EU market participants can continue to clear through U.K. central clearinghouses (CCPs) after March 29, 2019 in the case of a no-deal Brexit.  The EC’s decision to allow a “temporary and conditional” equivalence regime for U.K. CCPs, along with ESMA’s call for U.K. CCPs to apply for recognition, is a responsible first step in limiting the risk of market disruption.  These actions send an important message that European authorities do not wish the political discussions over Brexit to threaten the integrity and continued operation of markets for derivatives and other financial products.
