New Obama appointed controversial CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler was sworn-in yesterday and basically promised “strong, intellectual and aggressive regulation” (Oh God…).
Gensler also stressed the need to “urgently close the gaps in our laws to bring much-needed transparency and regulation to the over-the-counter derivatives market to lower risks, strengthen market integrity and protect investors.”
My guess is that the Anti-Hedging and the Anti-Pricing requirements were only the tip of the iceberg and that soon I’ll follow my article about the declining number of US Forex brokers with another, shorter one…
