Futures & Options World (FOW) spoke with Financial Markets and Funds Partner Carolyn Jackson regarding the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) plans for future commodity derivatives regulation.

Following Brexit, Carolyn expects the UK and EU to continue to diverge in the interest of adapting to their respective markets. "Commodity derivatives regulatory reform is clearly a priority for both jurisdictions, and my view is we will see further divergence over time, not because one jurisdiction is necessarily trying to generate a competitive advantage over the other, but because the markets and their participants are subtly different."
