Keeping Abreast Of An Evolving FX Landscape

11:00 360° Perspective: Addressing the intended and unintended consequences of regulation on the FX market structure- How to navigate your desk through the regulatory storm

Since the financial crisis of 2008, regulation across jurisdictions has had a profound effect on how both the buy and sell side operate. The knock on effect of this has been to radically change the market structure as e-trading increases in FX and the buy side seek solutions which the sell side can no longer deliver. This market practitioner panel with major players from from across the industry will give you a 360 perspective on:

  • What structural changes are direct impacts of regulation, and what are a result of the cyclical changes such as rising interest rates and the geo-political environment?
  • What is the impact of the latest set of regulations and how will it affect market participants from the buy and sell side?
  • Are we seeing a more transparent FX model or has the impact of regulation fragmented the market further?
  • How can regulators clear up cross border rules with overseas regulators to achieve a more coherent global structure?

12:00 Fireside Chat: The global regulation game- What are the practical implications of MiFID II on your cross-border FX trading activities?

MiFID II enforcement is coming, and its going to have direct impacts on US based firms when working with European clients, institutions and business partners. The degree of impact on your US FX trading will vary depending on your business model. For those US firms that plan on participating in European Markets must of course comply with MiFID, and this discussion will provide you with clarity on:
  • How is MiFID II going to markedly change the regulatory landscape globally and how will this impact your cross-border trading?
  • What impact will MiFID II have on global buy and sell side firms?
  • How can the sell side, platforms and technology providers assist you to achieve global regulatory compliance?
  • How can regulators clear up cross border rules with overseas regulators to create a more coherent global structure?
  • Is global standardized regulation across the globe beyond the realms of possibility, and if not who would oversee this?
