OCC Comment on CFTC RIN 3038-AF12 Reporting and Information Requirements for Derivatives Clearing Organizations
OCC
The Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC") appreciates the opportunity to submit these comments on the above-reference proposal ("Proposal" or "Proposed Rules") under the Commodity Exchange Act ("Exchange Act"). The Proposal would amend certain of the daily and event reporting requirements for derivatives clearing organizations ("DCOs") under Part 39 of the CFTC's regulations.
OCC supports and appreciates the Commission revisiting the Part 39 reporting requirements in light of the feedback it has received from DCOs and the Commission's experience with Part 39 reporting following the most recent amendments in 2020. Given the compliance and technology resources required to ensure timely and accurate daily and event reporting, OCC further supports the Commission's continued focus in the Proposed Rules to ensure that it is receiving the most relevant data from DCOs to support the Commission's supervision function.

Investors should not expect much relief from volatility
Anne Walsh - Financial Times
2022 was such a white-knuckle year for interest rates and market valuations. Investors should be forgiven for hoping that 2023 will be different. It will be different, but they should not expect much relief from volatility.
The strong US jobs figures for January demonstrate that real-time economic releases still have the power to surprise. But the more meaningful long-term matter for investors to keep in mind is that we have transitioned from a world of quantitative easing to one of tightening.

Borsa Istanbul 100 Index: Turkey Stocks Surge in Post-Quake Reopening
Tugce Ozsoy - Bloomberg
Turkish stocks soared on their return from a week-long suspension after authorities threw their full weight behind the market to avoid a repeat of last week's rout.
The Borsa Istanbul 100 Index closed 9.9% higher on Wednesday, outperforming all other major world markets, the biggest single-day advance since 2008. Investors took heart from government efforts to channel billions of liras from state institutions into stocks and steps by the local exchange to contain volatility.

Oil Hedging Ramps Up in Sign That Market Is Stabilizing
Devika Krishna Kumar and Alex Longley - Bloomberg
Major oil producers, including Petroliam Nasional Bhd. and Hess Corp., have locked in hedges to protect against falling prices in the latest sign that markets are stabilizing after an extremely volatile year that drove traders from the commodity.
Petronas, as the Malaysian company is known, has been using put options as a way to counterbalance against declines in the market, which lowers prices for its oil. The state producer has used a so-called put spread strategy that limits its gains in the event of a big slump, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Economy Might Not Crash After All. 'No Landing' Could Still Mean Trouble.
Teresa Rivas - Barron's
There's a new entry to the hard-landing/soft-landing debateâno landing at all. Just don't expect it to be good news for the stock market.
Recent headlines have remained focused on whether the Federal Reserve will be able to engineer a smooth slowdown in the economy as it attempts to tame inflation or be forced to engineer a recession to bring the consumer price index's growth rate back to its 2% target. Yet a third option is possible, one where it never touches the ground at all.

Douglas Gillison and Chris Prentice - Reuters
Wall Street's top regulator on Wednesday adopted rules tightening the time-frame for stock trades in an effort to tamp down the kind of risk seen in 2021's GameStop fiasco, when retail investors suffered heavy losses.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also proposed changing rules protecting client assets held by investment managers, in a move that would likely prevent cryptocurrency platforms from serving a key marketplace role.

Shanny Basar - MarketsMedia
The Securities and Exchange Commission has announced that the US will cut its settlement cycle by one day by 28 May 2024, which is earlier than anticipated.
The standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer transactions in securities will be reduced from two business days after a trade, T+2, by one day to T+1. Gary Gensler, chair of the SEC, said in a statement that the change will reduce latency, lower risk, promote efficiency and greater liquidity in the markets.

| | | | | | Miscellaneous | | | Why not just print more money and not tell anyone? TikTok and Reddit are obsessed
Beth Pinsker - MarketWatch
As inflation stubbornly clings to the U.S. economy, people are increasingly looking for solutions, and at the top of the list is this one: Why not just print more money? And why not do it without telling people, so that it doesn't backfire with even more inflation?
The idea pops up all over, and the approaches to explaining it range from Jack Corbett on NPR's popular Planet Money TikTok channel to a discussion on the "ask science" subReddit to various YouTube contributors like Money & Macro.
