ESMA clarifies treatment of packages under MiFIR's trading obligation for derivatives
March 21, 2018--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued today an opinion providing further guidance on the treatment of packages under the trading obligation for derivatives which the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) introduced on 3 January 2018.
MiFID II's trading obligation for derivatives does not provide for a tailored regime for packages, which is likely to result in the divergent application of the trading obligation for derivatives in the EU. In order to ensure the consistent application of the trading obligation across the Union, ESMA decided to issue an Opinion clarifying, through a positive list, the categories of packages for which the derivative components subject to the trading obligation are always required to be traded on a trading venue.

High risks persist for European securities markets and investors ESMA says
March 20, 2018--European securities markets, infrastructures and investors remain at risk, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) said today in its latest Trends, Risks, and Vulnerabilities (TRV) Report (No 1, 2018). ESMA also re-iterated its concerns about retail investors investing in speculative and risky products, such as virtual currencies and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).
The TRV, which covers the second half of 2017, finds that overall risk levels for the EU's securities markets remained stable but at high levels for most risk categories. However, February 2018 saw severe market corrections and the return of equity market volatility, confirming ESMA's prevailing concerns. On the other hand, the level of credit risk eased, from very high to high, reflecting a strengthening macroeconomic environment and higher credit ratings in several EU Member States.
