The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has approved a proposed rule that it says will reduce regulatory burdens for US market participants in order to promote economic growth and job creation, by bringing certain CFTC requirements in line with other US regulators. The proposed rule amends the CFTC’s margin requirements for uncleared swaps for swap dealers and major swap participants. It would ensure that master netting agreements are not excluded from the definition of “eligible master netting agreement” under the CFTC Margin Rule.
