More OTC Derivatives for Electronic Clearing

Banks agree to route more derivatives through clearinghouses
JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, UBS, Citigroup and several other major financial institutions agreed to accelerate their use of central clearinghouses for over-the-counter derivatives. The banks said they will start sending more credit default swaps and interest-rate derivatives through clearinghouses in October and December, respectively. The move comes as regulators in Europe and the U.S. aim to clamp down on the $450 trillion market.
