United States

A quiet news day. No new SEC rule proposals or adoptions, no-action or exemptive letters of structural weight, or market-structure litigation developments in the window. The most recent SRO filing of note — Nasdaq PHLX's SR-Phlx-2026-52, amending various Phlx options rules — is a routine, non-structural housekeeping filing effective immediately on August 26. No new CFTC releases; its most recent equity-adjacent item remains the August 19 request for comment on listing compute derivatives contracts, outside today's window. No FOMC or Board action; Jackson Hole ("Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy") opens tomorrow, August 27, with Chair Warsh's keynote set for Friday morning — nothing from the symposium yet to report.

Canada

No material items from CSA/OSC, CIRO or TMX in the window. Bank of Canada's next rate announcement is September 2; the policy rate has stood at 2.25% since July 15.

Latin America

No material items from B3/CVM, BMV/BIVA/CNBV, CMF/CNV or BCRA in the window. Brazil's Copom last cut Selic to 14.00% at its August 4–5 meeting, outside today's window; no scheduled Copom, Banxico, BCCh or BCRA policy decisions fell in this window.
