Maxine Waters, ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, urged the CFTC this week to begin investigating the offshore actions of Wall Street banks in avoiding certain mandates set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued a no-action letter on Friday, stating that the Commission will be extending its overseas trading rules deadline, giving overseas traders more time to comply with the CFTC’s rules.
Several commissioners have spoken out over the CFTC’s no action letters, finding that many of them were instituted without leaving them enough time to give their own input into the matter.
Outside of Massad, CFTC nominees Sharon Y. Bowen and J. Christopher Giancarlo, who are slated to take on roles as commissioners, will also be answering some questions for the Senate.
The agreement will relieve EU trading platforms from being affected by US derivative trading rules, at least for the time being.
