Market relief as CFTC approves final Sef rules    

"All eyes are now on the trading platforms that have been waiting in the wings to become registered Sefs. Many have been claiming they were ready for months, and they now control their own fate. Of course, not all the 20-plus Sefs will survive – ultimately, technology, volumes, liquidity and connectivity will decide the outcome over the next 12–18 months. However, there are still questions as to whether there will be technology aggregators of liquidity and whether all Sefs will register, or whether it will be similar to the situation we had with equity electronic communication networks, when dark pools became popular," says Zohar Hod, global head of sales at SuperDerivatives in New York.

Zohar Hod comments in FX Week on uncertainty in the regulatory space    

According to Zohar Hod, global head of sales at SuperDerivatives in New York, the BIS figures reflect the trend seen in the market last year. The technology vendor continues to see high demand for derivatives instruments, and the level of activity has recovered since 2008 as confidence in such instruments rebounds. "Uncertainty in the regulatory space remains the real bugbear for both the buy and sell side, which have yet to get a clear steer on the costs of using these instruments to manage risk going forward. OTC derivatives remain an essential and integral part of risk management for institutions across the board, but, as expected, this uncertainty has had an impact on overall volumes," he says.
