Today, clearing and settlement of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives remains the next big thing, while LCH.Clearnet's "SwapClear" remains the tingly glimpse into the future it's been for the past decade, even though it clears only plain vanilla interest rate and currency swaps. Such trading accounts for 86% of OTC derivatives transactions according to the Bank for International Settlements, but it isn't nearly as lucrative as the more complex and risky credit default swaps business, which accounts for just 11% of the OTC derivatives market. By then, it typically took two weeks to confirm a trade. Automated netting and counterparty assessment protocols paved the way for automated execution, and that brought the backlog down to less than five business days. For now, exchanges are working ...

Last June the gross market value of outstanding over-the-counter derivatives soared to a whopping $10.7 trillion, as measured by the Bank for International Settlements, a Basel, Switzerland-based clearinghouse for central banks. In their most basic form, derivatives are nothing new. Yet new types of derivatives -- often with complex, multilayered structures -- are emerging all the time. For corporates, however, there is more to derivatives than profit potential. Though many financial-services professionals may be expanding their positions in the derivatives market in search of capital appreciation -- especially when traditional investments such as stocks and bonds are generating lackluster returns, at best -- corporate participants are primarily active in derivatives for these kinds of ...

Even the world's most savvy stock-market giants (e.g., Warren E. Buffett) have warned over the past decade that derivatives are the fiscal equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) - potentially lethal. And the consequences of such an explosion would make the recent global financial and economic crisis seem like penny ante. But generously lubricated lobbyists for the unrestricted, unsupervised derivatives markets tell congressional committees and government regulators to butt out. While banks all over the world were imploding and some $50 trillion vanished in global stock markets, the derivatives market grew by an estimated 65 percent, according the Bank for International Settlements. BIS convenes the world's 57 most powerful central bankers in Basel, Switzerland, for periodic se...

NEW YORK (HedgeWorld.com) - The International Swaps and Derivatives Association gave a mostly enthusiastic thumbs-up to the Bank for International Settlements' revised framework for capital measurement and standards, with a few caveats. The "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework," commonly known as Basel II after the Swiss town where the Bank for International Settlements is located, provides a more up-to-date framework for determining how much capital banks should have on hand to withstand losses and loan to consumers and businesses.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is adopting rules to implement the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'' or ``Act'') relating to . These sections of the CEA were added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act''). The rules being adopted apply to for swap data repositories, derivatives clearing organizations, designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, swap dealers, major swap participants, and swap counterparties who are neither swap dealers nor major swap participants.

LONDON (Reuters) - The world's top 14 derivatives dealers may need extra cash to handle a surge in transaction clearing, especially in choppy markets, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) said. Clearing is being favored by regulators because it is backed by a default fund that ensures a trade is completed even if one side goes bust, as with the collapse of Lehman Brothers during the financial crisis.
