Core Viewpoint - The introduction of two regulatory measures signifies that the previously "invisible hand" of brokers will now operate under strict oversight, requiring them to be identifiable, traceable, and accountable in their operations [2][4]. Group 1: Regulatory Framework - The "Interbank Market Brokerage Business Management Measures" outlines clear operational rules for brokerage services in the interbank market, specifying what brokers can and cannot do [6][7]. - Brokers are restricted to facilitating existing transactions without engaging in primary issuance or price manipulation, ensuring they act solely as intermediaries [8][9]. - All brokerage activities must be traceable, with real-time reporting of quotes and transactions to the central bank, and communication records must be securely stored for at least five years [9][10]. Group 2: Licensing and Governance - The "Currency Brokerage Company Management Measures" establishes criteria for who can operate as a licensed brokerage, requiring a minimum registered capital of 100 million and a history of profitability [15][16]. - The scope of services for currency brokerage companies has been expanded to include gold and derivatives, allowing them to provide brokerage services across various financial markets [15][16]. - Governance and data security are emphasized, mandating a comprehensive internal control system and the preservation of all transaction-related information for five years [16][17]. Group 3: Market Impact and Observations - The first successful gold inquiry spot transaction under the new regulations indicates a shift towards a more transparent and regulated market environment, enhancing liquidity and price discovery [20][21]. - The regulatory changes are expected to reshape the industry landscape, moving from "gray intermediaries" to licensed brokers and in-house brokerage departments within financial institutions [25]. - The business model is transitioning from profit through hidden spreads to value creation through transparency and data services, challenging brokers to demonstrate their competitive edge in a regulated environment [26][28]. Group 4: Regulatory Objectives - The focus of regulation has shifted from merely preventing incidents to ensuring accountability and traceability in brokerage activities, creating a comprehensive regulatory loop from institutions to behaviors and data [30][31]. - The new framework aims to transform brokers from an "invisible hand" into a clearly defined entity with identifiable actions, potentially stabilizing the market during periods of volatility [31].
