Single Stock Futures:
Final
single stock story - <SPAN
class=620262812-03072002>By Jeremy Grant in Chicago
Tradingin single
stock futures in the US moved a step closer to reality on Tuesday when one of
two key regulators studying the instruments approved their use. Single stock
futures - which allow traders to buy and sell futures on specific stocks -
have been banned in the US for the past 20 years. But two years ago Congress
gave the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and
Exchange Commission clearance to come up with a regulatory framework that
would allow them to be re-introduced.
The CFTC said it
had voted unanimously to approve customer margins rules for single stock
futures. It also approved new rules for customer protection. SEC approvalis
still needed before trading can start. But James Newsome, CFTC chairman, said
he believed this was possible by mid-July. That would mean trading could start
by the end of August once certain technical formalities had been completed, he
told the Financial Times. <SPAN
