New York City, NY, USA (July 22, 2013) — As reported by Law360, Senate Democrats told Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should streamline their cross-border swaps rules, saying “conflicting approaches” may create new risk in global financial markets.

“Creating an overly complicated compliance system for market participants will result in conflicting, duplicative or inconsistent rules that could foster new and unforeseen risks and lead to international regulatory arbitrage.”

The SEC has proposed its own international derivatives trading rules allowing for so-called substituted compliance in which European regulators can substitute their own rules if the SEC deems them comparable to the Dodd-Frank Act.

But the CFTC and its Chairman Gary Gensler have taken a tougher stance than the SEC in seeking to impose capital, reporting, margin and other rules on foreign firms with at least $8 billion in annual swaps trading volume. That effort has drawn the ire of European regulators and House Republicans, who say it could lead to regulatory confusion and fragmented markets.

“Unfortunately, to avoid uncertainty, the CFTC, SEC and international regulators need additional time to get on the same page and resolve their differences, and ensure that the world’s financial regulations are robust enough to stymie future risks posed to our economy.”

Senate Democrats have applauded the CFTC’s approach to extending oversight of the $700 trillion swaps market under Dodd-Frank to foreign subsidiaries of U.S. financial institutions. What the impact will be on HFT will be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com), July 30th, part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).
