ESMA amends guidelines to further harmonise the enforcement of financial information by national regulators

February 4, 2020--The European Securities Markets Authority (ESMA) has published today an amended version of its guidelines on enforcement of financial information. The Guidelines apply to national competent authorities' (NCAs) enforcement of financial information which issuers, listed on regulated markets, are required to publish under the Transparency Directive.

Following a 2017 peer review on the implementation of certain aspects of the Guidelines, ESMA decided to amend the Guidelines in order to further harmonise the way NCAs enforce the financial disclosures of European issuers.

ESMA advises the European Commission on Product Intervention

February 4, 23020--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's securities market regulator, today publishes its final Report on product intervention requirements under MiFIR.

ESMA published its first product intervention measures in March 2018, and finds that these measures have protected retail investors by limiting distribution of speculative products to retail clients.

Nearly all NCAs have taken national product intervention measures in relation to the marketing, distribution or sale of binary options and CFDs to retail clients. ESMA adopted opinions in relation to these national measures indicating whether they were justified and proportionate.

Brexit: Britain 'will not be aligning with EU rules'-Raab

February 2, 2020--Britain will "not be aligning with EU rules" in any post-Brexit trade deal, the foreign secretary has said.
Dominic Raab argued agreeing to stick strongly with EU regulations would "defeat the point of Brexit".

But Irish PM Leo Varadkar said the UK needed to commit to a level playing field to get a free trade deal.

Talks to negotiate a free trade deal between the UK and the EU are due to start next month, following the UK's formal withdrawal from the bloc.

ECB-Euro area economic and financial developments by institutional sector: third quarter of 2019

January 28, 2020--Euro area net saving increased to €847 billion in the four quarters to the third quarter of 2019, compared with €823 billion in the four quarters to the previous quarter.

Euro area net non-financial investment decreased slightly to €582 billion (from €585 billion previously), due to decreased investment by non-financial corporations, which was partly offset by increased investment by households and other sectors. Euro area net lending to the rest of the world increased to €277 billion (from €251 billion previously) in line with the higher net saving and lower net non-financial investment.

The household debt-to-income ratio[1] stood broadly unchanged, at 93.6% in the third quarter of 2019 compared with the third quarter of 2018.

Amun innovates with the issuance of the world first Inverse Bitcoin Tracker ETP

January 23, 2020--Amun AG innovates the crypto market by launching the 21Shares Short Bitcoin ETP (SBTC) by Amun on the Swiss Stock Exchange (SIX), which tracks the opposite performance of Bitcoin to give investors an easy, cost effective and convenient way to gain exposure in both directions of the Bitcoin price movements.

The SBTC tracker is the first short or inverse product of its kind using a digital asset as the underlying for an ETP structure (Exchange Traded Products-ETP). It enables investors to capture falling price movements in Bitcoin BTC via their traditional broker or bank. In contrast to shorting, which is usually associated with high lending costs (or margin calls), the inverse ETP is reset at the end of each day and the performance is not rolled over to the next day. Therefore, it is ideally suited to capture short term price movements of Bitcoin for a short recommended period.

New UBS ETF on Xetra: Carry trade on different maturities of commodity futures

January 22, 2020--Since Wednesday, a new Exchange Traded Fund from UBS Global Asset Management is tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The UBS ETF (IE) CMCI Commodity Carry SF UCITS ETF (USD) A-acc gives investors access to a commodity strategy that simultaneously takes a short and long position in two commodity indices.

Both indices contain the same commodities but with different future maturities. The aim is to maximise the roll returns. Net exposure to the commodity markets through excess short or long positions is nearly eliminated. Carry trades are trading strategies in which interest rate or, as in this case, fair value differences are exploited. The index uses a 2.5 leverage effect.

FCA blindsided by investment fund suspensions

January 18, 2020--Regulator admits it does not track frequency of funds that block investor withdrawals
The Financial Conduct Authority has conceded it has failed to keep track of investment fund suspensions, an admission that raises questions over the effectiveness of its oversight and its ability to protect investors.

The UK financial watchdog has been severely criticised for its lack of oversight of several funds that have run into difficulty in recent years, including the high-profile collapse of Neil Woodford's investment empire and a spate of property funds following the Brexit vote in 2016.
