EU & ESMA

No material new ESMA, European Commission or EBA market-structure items over the weekend — deep summer recess. The ECB's Governing Council did not meet in August (next monetary policy accounts due 27 August). Background unchanged: EuroCTP transition targeted live 14 September 2026; the MiFIR reasonable-commercial-basis deadline is 22 August 2026; the EU T+1 transition remains 11 October 2027.

United Kingdom

No material new FCA or Bank of England/PRA market-structure items over the weekend; no MPC meeting in this window. Background unchanged: CP26/30 (equity market transparency) and CP26/31 (consolidated tape provider call for input) remain open, both closing 16 October 2026.

National & exchanges

No material new items from BaFin/Deutsche Börse, AMF/Euronext, Consob/Borsa Italiana, CNMV/BME, AFM, SIX or Nasdaq Nordic over the weekend. None of the Riksbank, SNB or Danmarks Nationalbank met in this window — Riksbank's next decision is 19–20 August, SNB's next quarterly assessment is September, and Danmarks Nationalbank tracks the ECB, which had no August meeting.
