Data Standards Financial Data Transparency Act

CFTC Establishes Joint Data Standards as Required Under the Financial Data Transparency Act of 2022

CFTC General | Score: 0.62 | neutral | Published: 10:30 Jun 08, 2026 (Eastern)

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has adopted a final rule establishing joint data standards under the Financial Data Transparency Act of 2022, announced on June 8, 2026. The rule sets technical standards for data submitted to certain financial regulatory agencies, with eight additional agencies—including the Federal Reserve, SEC, CFPB, Treasury, FDIC, FHFA, NCUA, and OCC—either having established or expected to establish the same standards. The joint standards aim to promote interoperability of financial regulatory data across agencies by creating common identifiers for entities, geographic locations, dates, and certain products and currencies. The rule also includes a principles-based standard for data transmission and schema and taxonomy formats, intended to enable financial institutions to submit machine-readable data to regulators. CFTC Chairman Selig stated that differing data standards across agencies have increased costs on firms without commensurate regulatory benefit, and characterized the rule as a step toward reducing those burdens.

Keywords: CFTC, data standards, Financial Data Transparency Act, derivatives markets, regulatory reporting, swap reporting, financial institutions, systemic risk monitoring

Kevin Warsh and the Future of the Fed

Beckworth Substack | Score: 0.62 | neutral | Published: 14:20 Jun 08, 2026 (Eastern)

In this Mercatus Center Substack piece, David Beckworth describes a conversation he had with former Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Tom Hoenig about Kevin Warsh, who is presented as the incoming Fed Chair. Hoenig, who served on the FOMC during the 2006 Greenspan-to-Bernanke transition, draws on that experience to compare the two chair transitions. Key topics discussed include the challenging economic backdrop Warsh would inherit — above-target inflation, geopolitical risks, and signs of slowing growth — as well as the need to build credibility within a more independent-minded FOMC. Hoenig describes the Fed chair role as requiring persuasion rather than command. The conversation also covers Warsh's expected skepticism toward forward guidance and the dot plot, his concerns about the Fed's expanded mandate beyond traditional responsibilities, the relationship between rising fiscal deficits and monetary policy independence, the Fed-Treasury relationship, and the appropriate limits of crisis-era interventions. The piece notes that both Hoenig and Warsh favor emergency liquidity tools during crises but oppose prolonged extraordinary policy. Hoenig is described as cautiously optimistic about Warsh's prospects given his experience and diplomatic skills.

Keywords: Federal Reserve, Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, Fed independence, Central banking, Monetary policy, Bernanke transition, Fed governance
