EU & ESMA

No material new ESMA, European Commission or EBA equity-market items over the weekend. No Governing Council item either; the ECB's account of its 23 July meeting is still due 27 August, not yet published. The MiFIR reasonable-commercial-basis transition period for market data providers authorised before 23 November 2025 lapsed on 22 August as scheduled — ESMA has issued no follow-up statement or enforcement note on it.

United Kingdom

No material new FCA or Bank of England/PRA market-structure items over the weekend; no MPC meeting in this window (next 17 September). CP26/30 (equity market transparency) and CP26/31 (consolidated tape provider call for input) remain open with no update, both closing 16 October.

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. No national central bank decisions fell in this window: Norges Bank's last hold was 12 August and Danmarks Nationalbank's last move was June, both predating this window; the SNB's next quarterly assessment is September.
