Treasury Announces Marketable Borrowing Estimates
October 29, 2012-- The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of net marketable borrowing for the October-December 2012 and January-March 2013 quarters:
During the October-December 2012 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $288 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-December cash balance of $60 billion.
This borrowing estimate is $29 billion lower than announced in July 2012. The decrease in borrowing relates to lower outlays, higher receipts, and changes in the cash balance assumptions.
During the January – March 2013 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $342 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-March cash balance of $30 billion.
During the July – September 2012 quarter, Treasury issued $264 billion in net marketable debt, and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $85 billion. In July 2012, Treasury estimated $276 billion in net marketable borrowing and assumed an end-of-September cash balance of $60 billion. The decrease in borrowing was driven by higher-than-projected receipts—primarily due to Treasury's sale of American International Group common stock—and lower-than-projected outlays, partially offset by changes in the cash balance assumptions.1

New technology helps ETF traders go it alone
October 26, 2012--Having recently joined the markets desk on the FT, I have pondered the usefulness of the market reports that appear daily on the back page of the paper. Do people still want to read such accounts when they can get market updates delivered to their mobile phones throughout the trading day?
Apparently they do – according to an unscientific straw poll of one, anyway. A former colleague now in the public relations business tells me he uses the reports to make decisions on whether to buy or sell an exchange traded fund tracking the FTSE 250 index. This strategy has returned double digits this year, he reports. So he votes to leave the FT’s back page alone.

The commission’s three Democrats, Gary Gensler, Bart Chilton and Mark Wetjen support the appeal, according to the person. It is unclear how soon the agency could file the appeal.
