US appeals court strikes down SEC rule on 'audit trail' funding

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A federal appeals court on Friday struck down 2023 regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on funding a comprehensive market surveillance system, finding that Wall Street's top regulator had not provided a sufficient basis for allowing stock exchanges to pass on its costs to their members, court papers showed. The unanimous decision represented another blow to SEC regulations adopted under the previous Biden administration, which faced concerted opposition from industry and Republican lawmakers. It was also a setback for the Consolidated Audit Trail, a repository of investor and transaction data meant to give regulators overarching visibility into U.S. market operations, but which has faced delays and obstacles for more than a decade. The American Securities Association and Citadel Securities, which brought the lawsuit, both hailed the outcome. The ruling "prevents a tax hike on every American investor who buys or sells a share of stock," ASA President Chris Iacovella said in a statement. The SEC did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Over the objections of its Republican members, the SEC in 2023 split the operating costs among buyers, sellers, and exchanges. Officials said at the time this would divide costs evenly but also allow exchanges several years to recoup hundreds of millions already spent. This drew stiff objections from the investment industry, which said it could be left paying an unfairly large share. The two Republicans are now part of the five-member commission's controlling majority. In an opinion for a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for 11th Circuit, Circuit Judge Andrew Brasher said that, because the SEC had not advanced a sufficient justification in deciding how the system's cost would fall on different actors in the marketplace, "we conclude that the 2023 Funding Order is arbitrary and capricious" and therefore in violation of federal laws governing the crafting of regulations. The appeals court sent the rule back to the SEC for further processing in line with the court's decision. The SEC mandated the CAT's creation in 2012 as a response to the "flash crash" of 2010 when major Wall Street indexes temporarily erased nearly $1 trillion in market value in a matter of minutes. Officials say it can allow regulators to spot market manipulation and have cited its data in enforcement actions.

BofA, Morgan Stanley, U.S. Bank CFOs push for holistic capital framework review

This story was originally published on Banking Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Banking Dive newsletter. At the Federal Reserve's capital framework conference Tuesday, Morgan Stanley CFO Sharon Yeshaya likened the current web of rules to a room with too many layers of paint to count. 'It feels like an old New York City apartment that they just keep painting over and over and over again. And you're sorta like, what color was this supposed to be?' she said. 'We should strip the paint and we should take a look and say, what are we trying to achieve?' One of the words mentioned repeatedly during the central bank's capital framework conference: holistic. As Trump-appointed agency heads pursue change to bank regulation, industry players also underscored the importance of finalizing a Basel III proposal. The July 2023 capital requirements proposal, intended to align the U.S. with Basel III, introduced overlaps with other requirements that weren't addressed in the initial proposed rule, Yeshaya said. Instead, considering the framework 'more holistically' is essential, she said. The Morgan Stanley CFO advocated for deciding how much capital needs to exist within the system, and then working through how banks allocate that capital appropriately to risks being run on a day-to-day basis. 'I don't think it's about gaming the system,' Yeshaya said. 'We're not trying to bring ourselves down.' 'We need to kind of get past the last 20 years and say that there isn't an intention to fail,' Yeshaya added, noting that banks endure reviews and challenges, and work to make changes after undergoing stress tests. The 'first-of-its-kind conference' Tuesday brought together industry players, academics, analysts, former regulators and other stakeholders to discuss the elements of the capital framework for large banks and where adjustments can be made, said Michelle Bowman, the Fed's vice chair for supervision, who orchestrated the event. The capital framework for U.S. lenders features risk-based capital requirements, leverage requirements, stress testing and the capital surcharge for the biggest, most complex banks. Currently, there are outstanding or in-development proposals on all four, and each was discussed Tuesday. Banks have advocated for less severe capital requirements because they say it affects lending, while supporters of more robust rules warn weaker regulations could tee up another financial crisis. As the all-day event wrapped up, Bowman told panelists 'we'll be calling on you, I know, as we're working on developing some of these ideas and thinking more deeply about some of the thoughts that you all have shared with us today.' With Trump-appointed heads in place at banking agencies and eager to make adjustments, Matthew Bisanz, a partner at law firm Mayer Brown, said he expects meaningful change to the capital framework. Tuesday's event 'changed my view that we will see a reproposal of Basel endgame later this year,' he said. 'I think that went from being a possibility to being the base case.' Bank regulators' 2023 proposal, which would have increased by 19% the amount of capital the largest banks would have had to hold, drew swift industry pushback. That Biden-era proposal was revamped last year, dropping the increase to 9%, although that reportedly faced criticism from both Democratic and Republican regulatory officials. The proposal was effectively shelved with the election of President Donald Trump. Big bank CFOs, in the conference's final panel Tuesday, weighed in on potential areas of capital framework reform, calling for transparency, efficiency and a comprehensive approach. Each of the individual capital rules is 'well intended' and designed for safety, Bank of America CFO Alastair Borthwick said Tuesday. If there were only one rule, then some conservatism would be expected. But the interrelation of the rules becomes 'important to us as practitioners, because we're managing all of them,' said the finance chief of the country's second-largest bank. In total, these rules tend to get 'more conservative, because they're greater than the sum of the individual rule.' As banks are faced with capital decisions, whether in stress tests or proposals such as Basel III, there are risk-weight considerations, said U.S. Bank CFO John Stern. When lenders allocate capital to business lines and have to make pricing decisions, 'it can really impact how we go to market, how it impacts clients, how it impacts our conversations with clients,' he said. 'That's really meaningful.' When it comes to regulators' to-do list, Bisanz noted that capital framework changes may have to take a back seat to stablecoin rules, since the GENIUS Act has rulemaking associated with it, which bank agencies must take action on.

Pinnacle shares tumble as $8.6 billion deal for Synovus raises fears of stricter oversight

By Ateev Bhandari and Pritam Biswas (Reuters) -Shares of U.S. regional banks Pinnacle Financial Partners and Synovus Financial fell on Friday as investors balked at the possibility of stricter regulatory requirements due to their merger, which would significantly increase their combined assets. The combined entity, with more than $115 billion in assets, would cross the threshold to be classified as a "large financial institution," subject to much stricter regulations. Analysts said that surpassing the $100 billion threshold often negatively affects bank profitability. "The broader balance sheet impact may not be fully captured in the company's current projections and that it could represent an incremental headwind to profitability," Jefferies analysts wrote in a note. "It necessitates growth in high-quality liquid asset securities, which typically yield less than loans." Shares of Synovus, which has more assets than Pinnacle, tumbled 12.7% in morning trading, while Pinnacle, which has a larger market capitalization, also declined, according to LSEG data. Expectations of lower interest rates and positive economic data have improved executive sentiment, a marked reversal from early April when U.S. tariff policy put dealmaking on hold. Analysts remain cautious about the timing of Pinnacle's decision. 'Pinnacle's organic growth model was strong enough not to require a deal that could disrupt the existing strategy,' J.P. Morgan analysts said. Some analysts said that crossing the asset mark could provide a buffer for a stronger balance sheet and enhance operational efficiency. "The combination includes two growth-oriented companies with a long history in large, growing Southeast markets giving a solid start out of the gate," analysts at Raymond James said in a note. U.S. bank M&A activity is expected to accelerate in the second half of the year, supported by a more accommodating regulatory environment and a new merger review process.
