CME Group Inc Withdraws Complaint Against U.S. Regulator-Reuters
Thursday, 29 Nov 2012 05:45pm EST 

Reuters reported that CME Group Inc pulled its lawsuit against the Commodity Futures Trading Commission after the U.S. regulator withdrew rules that would have stopped CME from warehousing data generated by its swaps clearing business. New CFTC rules require contracts in the opaque $650 trillion swaps market to be reported to a data repository to remedy a lack of transparency in the swaps market that critics say exacerbated the global financial crisis in 2008. The CFTC, which regulates over-the-counter swaps, had issued guidance banning a clearinghouse operator from requiring customers to use its captive swap data repository. CME sued to block those rules on Nov. 8, saying they contradicted other rules written under the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. The law requires standard swaps to be traded on regulated platforms and routed through clearinghouses, which stand between parties to guarantee their trades. the CFTC withdrew its ban and said it would seek public comment on a CME rule that would require traders clearing swaps at CME's clearinghouse to report data on those swaps to CME's own swap data repository.  Full Article
