  • CFTC: Swaps dealers must register and open books

    24 Jun 2009

    WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - All derivatives dealers should have capital and leverage limits, be subject to new fraud penalties, reporting and recordkeeping regulations, said a key regulator on Wednesday. "By fully regulating the institutions that trade or hold themselves out to the public as derivative dealers we ensure that all OTC products, both standardized and customized, are subject to robust oversight," Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler told the Managed Funds Association in Chicago. However, Gensler did not make clear whether the regulation should come from the CFTC, which oversees futures derivatives, the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is responsible for securities derivatives, or the Federal Reserve, which oversees the investment banks where most dealers are based. In addition to dealers, Gensler is calling on new regulation for derivative traders. Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.
