United States

No FOMC meeting, statement or balance-sheet action fell in this window — the next scheduled decision is 15–16 September. The Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium (theme: "Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy") runs Thursday–Saturday, 27–29 August, still outside this window; Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is confirmed to deliver his first Jackson Hole keynote as chair on Friday morning, 28 August.

The Rule 611/610(e) trade-through rescission comment file (S7-2026-20) remains closed as of 17 August with no order or further Commission action over the weekend. Rulemaking docket, SEC

No update on the IEX fee schedule beyond its 12 August filing (Incremental Fee Tier changes ahead of the IEX Options launch), and no change to Nasdaq's 23-hour Global Trading Hours rollout — still targeting 6 December, with the SEC's public roundtable on 24-hour-trading preparedness set for 17 September. SEC roundtable announcement

No new SRO rule filings of structural weight from NYSE, Nasdaq or Cboe in the window; the only item touching an exchange rulebook was a procedural notice extending the Commission's review period on a June NYSE American FLEX-options cash-settlement proposal (Rules 903G/906G) — not a decision.

Canada

No material new items from CSA, OSC, CIRO or TMX in the last 72 hours. The Bank of Canada's next scheduled rate announcement is 2 September; the policy rate has held at 2.25% since 15 July.

Latin America

No material new market-structure or central-bank items in the last 72 hours from B3/CVM, BMV/BIVA/CNBV, CMF/CNV, the BCB/Copom, Banxico, the BCCh or the BCRA. (Copom's most recent cut, to 14.00%, and Banxico's hold at 6.50% both landed before this window and were covered previously.)
