SEC Adopts Rule to Increase Transparency in the Securities Lending Market
October 13, 2023--The Securities and Exchange Commission today adopted new Rule 10c-1a, which will require certain persons to report information about securities loans to a registered national securities association (RNSA) and require RNSAs to make publicly available certain information that they receive regarding those lending transactions. The rule is intended to increase the transparency and efficiency of the securities lending market.
"Securities lending played a role in the 2008 financial crisis, and, currently, the securities lending market is opaque," said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. "In the Dodd-Frank Act, Congress mandated that the Commission enhance the transparency of the securities lending market. Such transparency gets to the heart of the SEC's mission. It promotes competition. It promotes fair, orderly, and efficient markets. In fulfilling Congress's mandate, today’s adoption will promote greater transparency in the securities lending markets both to regulators and the public."
SEC Adopts Rule to Increase Transparency Into Short Selling and Amendment to CAT NMS Plan for Purposes of Short Sale Data Collection
October 13, 2023--The Securities and Exchange Commission today adopted new Rule 13f-2 to provide greater transparency to investors and other market participants by increasing the public availability of short sale related data. Congress directed the SEC in Section 929X of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 to promulgate rules to make certain short sale data publicly available.
"In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Congress directed the SEC to enhance the transparency of short selling of equity securities," said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. "Today's adoption will promote greater transparency about short selling both to regulators and the public. This rule addresses Congress's mandate and improves upon existing sources of short sale-related data in the equity markets. Given past market events, it's important for the Commission and the public to know more about short sale activity in the equity markets, especially in times of stress or volatility."

Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee, September 19-20, 2023
October 11, 2023--Developments in Financial Markets and Open Market Operations
The manager turned first to a review of developments in financial markets over the intermeeting period. U.S. data releases generally pointed to greater economic resilience than previously thought, and the reaction in market pricing implied both a higher expected trajectory for the policy rate at longer horizons and higher term premiums. Policy-sensitive rates rose moderately, and longer-dated forward rates displayed larger increases.
Ten-year Treasury yields ended the period more than 40 basis points higher, and broad measures of equity prices fell. Bank equity prices underperformed over the period, but taking a somewhat longer view, investor sentiment toward the banking sector appeared to have largely stabilized, with less differentiation of equity price movements across bank types. The dollar broadly appreciated against advanced-economy currencies over the period, as stronger U.S. data supported moderately increased yield differentials against these economies amid perceptions that policy rates were at or near their peaks. In China, signs of strain in the property sector increased, and optimism about growth diminished further, on net, although broader markets, including global commodity markets, did not appear to show elevated concern about China-related risks. U.S. financial conditions tightened, with higher longer-term rates, lower equity prices, and a stronger dollar contributing roughly equally to the increase in various financial conditions indexes.
