We have a lot of work to do at the SEC to advance free markets, capital formation, investor choice, and innovation. I'm delighted that Paul Atkins will be returning to lead the effort. Having worked for him during his last stint at the agency, I cannot think of a better person for the job.

Saw @JohnLothian dig in his @JohnLothianNews about Hoosiers hoops losing streak with Boilers. Guess I'll drown out my sorrows drinking out of my Old Oaken Bucket, which 12th ranked Hoosiers currently hold and have held for 5 out of last 7 yrs. Hoo-Hoo-Hoo Hoosiers! @FIAconnect

At the beginning of 2020, I knew the names of four other families on our Fulham street. Yesterday we collectively decorated every tree in the road and had drinks together outside. Sense of local community post Covid will stay forever.

@FIAconnect is working with firms and exchanges to improve and automate processes and standards, so we are prepared for the next period of volatility, says @WaltFIA #FIAAsia
Today @FIAconnect issued a consequential white paper that examines the dramatic increase in margin during the early days of the pandemic. In sum, the clearing system was resilient but important lessons were learned from this real world stress test. bit.ly/2HKpG3m
CFTC should be commended for greater transparency around its enforcement guidelines. The more the industry knows how to stay in compliance, the better! And compliance is the ultimate goal. Congrats to @ChairmanHeath and @CFTC enforcement division. bit.ly/35Lmhtb
Important and helpful statement by @ChairmanHeath on the use of no action letters and guidance by the CFTC. Worth a close ready by the industry. @CFTC @FIAconnect

ICYMI- the level of customer funds held by FCMs since March is at record highs. A lot more margin in the system right now heading into a possibly volatile election period. Check out FIA's data hub!
