- 2026-09-02 — Exemption of Debt Obligations Issued by the European Union Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for Purposes of Trading Futures Contracts on Those Securities: SEC proposed rule would designate EU-issued debt as ‘exempted securities’ under the Exchange Act so that futures contracts on EU sovereign bonds trade under CFTC/CEA rules rather than securities rules, which the SEC argues would deepen liquidity and reduce hedging costs for U.S. market participants.
