CFTC Swap-Data Policies Amended Following CME Group Lawsuit
This article is for subscribers only.
U.S. policies for swaps data have been amended and opened for additional public comment after a lawsuit challenging the rules was filed by CME Group Inc., owner of the world’s largest futures exchange.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission withdrew part of a document governing how trade price and volume information is routed to new databases under the Dodd-Frank Act. The agency also sought comment yesterday on CME’s proposed policy of having data for trades guaranteed by its clearinghouse sent to its own so-called swap-data repository.
