Derivatives Industry Joins Forces to Launch Futuresfundamentals.org Education Resource

Hits & Takes
Check out our second Deep Dive With JLN show with Trading Technologies' Drew Shields and CME Group's Julie Armstrong who talk about data, cloud technology and what's next in the space. You can view all of it, or in short segments HERE
Some notes from FIA Expo, day one:
The exchange leaders panel focused solidly on regulation. Nasdaq's Adena Friedman said the goals of regulation have been distorted by the political process. CME's Terry Duffy called for the repeal of the Volcker Rule, which prevents banks from trading in derivatives markets but not cash markets.~JK
Duffy also said EMIR 2.0 is the real problem and the EU is trying to be the regulator for the world. "We don't need the exact same laws in every country," he said.
Friedman said regulations were choking off liquidity and deterring many companies from going public. ICE's Jeffrey Sprecher said that, while some issues should fall to the regulators to tackle, they should let the markets resolve competition issues.~SR
The Shark Tank-esque Meet The Innovators session featured several start-up tech firms. All impressed. Predata's CEO detailed how the firm scours social media for predictive indicators which preceded moves in Saudi Arabia that affected crude oil prices and nine out of the last ten mining strikes in Chile, affecting metals markets. ~JK
Last year's innovator winner, Money.net, now has more than 60,000 registered users. Its $150 per month plan is appealing to those not interested in paying Bloomberg terminal fees.~JK
Expo keynote speaker Bob Woodward said the concentration of presidential power has continued to increase since his reportage on Nixon. A psychiatrist friend told him his attempts to treat people with narcissistic personality disorder never worked. He couldn't change them one bit, and in the worst case scenario they ended up changing him. Similarly, Woodward said Trump can't be changed but has already changed us as Americans. Woodward added he once quoted Obama to Trump as saying power comes to the U.S. through its restraint and humility. Trump replied that real power is fear.~SR
