HKEX 2024 First Quarter Results - Quarterly Results For The Three Months Ended 31 March 2024
Bonnie Y CHAN, Chief Executive Officer said: HKEX demonstrated its strength and resilience in the first quarter of the year. Despite a fragile global backdrop, the Group’s derivatives and commodities business performed strongly – the former achieving record quarterly volumes. Whilst the cash market reflected broader macro sentiment and remained soft, there was a notable uptick in Headline ADT in March and April, indicating growing investor confidence. The Connect programmes, including Northbound Stock Connect and Bond Connect, saw significant growth in trading volumes, with Bond Connect reaching a fresh record for the quarter. Recent initiatives announced by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, such as the expansion of eligible ETFs and the inclusion of Real Estate Investment Trusts in Stock Connect, the addition of RMB-denominated stocks in Southbound Stock Connect, as well as supporting leading Mainland companies to list in Hong Kong, will further elevate the attractiveness of Hong Kong’s capital markets. Looking ahead, despite the prevailing backdrop, we are optimistic about HKEX’s ability to capitalise on the long-term growth of China, the considerable opportunities to connect with the fastgrowing capital hubs of Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and the continuing exciting developments in technology in our industry and beyond.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham In Support Of Swap Execution Facilities (SEF) Confirmation Requirements Final Rule
I support the Final Rule on Swap Confirmation Requirements for Swap Execution Facilities (SEF Confirmation Final Rule) because it resolves the temporal impossibility of requiring SEF confirmations at the time of execution for block trades, which are in fact executed away from the SEF and then submitted to the SEF afterwards. I would like to thank Roger Smith, Nora Flood, and Vince McGonagle in the Division of Market Oversight for their work on the SEF Confirmation Final Rule.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger In Support Of Final Rulemaking On Confirmation Requirements For Swap Execution Facilities
Workable rules are essential to maintain the confidence of the American public in the integrity of our derivatives markets. So, when we become aware that our rules are not as workable as we thought, or impose substantial operational burdens with little corresponding regulatory benefit, we should address these shortcomings promptly. Unfortunately, though, the Commission sometimes chooses to “kick the can down the road” by relying on staff no-action letters instead – often for many years – without tackling the root cause of the problem in the rule itself.

Statement Of CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam Regarding The CFTC’s Final Rule On Swap Confirmation Requirements For SEFs
I am very pleased that the Commission voted to finalize necessary amendments to the Commission’s regulations addressing longstanding issues with the uncleared swap confirmation requirements under Rule 37.6(b). During the initial implementation of part 37, SEFs informed the CFTC that the confirmation requirement for uncleared swaps was operationally and technologically difficult and impractical to implement. In light of these challenges, the Division of Market Oversight provided targeted no-action positions for SEFs with respect to certain provisions of Commission regulations throughout the last decade.
