US appeals court strikes down SEC rule on 'audit trail' funding
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A federal appeals court on Friday struck down 2023 regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on funding a comprehensive market surveillance system, finding that Wall Street's top regulator had not provided a sufficient basis for allowing stock exchanges to pass on its costs to their members, court papers showed. The unanimous decision represented another blow to SEC regulations adopted under the previous Biden administration, which faced concerted opposition from industry and Republican lawmakers. It was also a setback for the Consolidated Audit Trail, a repository of investor and transaction data meant to give regulators overarching visibility into U.S. market operations, but which has faced delays and obstacles for more than a decade. The American Securities Association and Citadel Securities, which brought the lawsuit, both hailed the outcome. The ruling "prevents a tax hike on every American investor who buys or sells a share of stock," ASA President Chris Iacovella said in a statement. The SEC did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Over the objections of its Republican members, the SEC in 2023 split the operating costs among buyers, sellers, and exchanges. Officials said at the time this would divide costs evenly but also allow exchanges several years to recoup hundreds of millions already spent. This drew stiff objections from the investment industry, which said it could be left paying an unfairly large share. The two Republicans are now part of the five-member commission's controlling majority. In an opinion for a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for 11th Circuit, Circuit Judge Andrew Brasher said that, because the SEC had not advanced a sufficient justification in deciding how the system's cost would fall on different actors in the marketplace, "we conclude that the 2023 Funding Order is arbitrary and capricious" and therefore in violation of federal laws governing the crafting of regulations. The appeals court sent the rule back to the SEC for further processing in line with the court's decision. The SEC mandated the CAT's creation in 2012 as a response to the "flash crash" of 2010 when major Wall Street indexes temporarily erased nearly $1 trillion in market value in a matter of minutes. Officials say it can allow regulators to spot market manipulation and have cited its data in enforcement actions.

Growth slows across UK private sector as job cuts accelerate
Growth in the UK's private sector slowed down last month as firms also accelerated job cuts in the face of higher costs, according to new figures. The S&P Global flash UK composite purchasing managers' index (PMI) reported a reading of 51 in July, sliding from a nine-month high of 52 reported in June. The flash figures are based on preliminary data. Any score above 50.0 indicates that activity is growing while any score below means it is contracting. The figures therefore pointed towards continued growth but at a slower rate. It was also weaker than expected by economists, who had predicted a reading of 51.8 for the month. Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: The flash UK PMI survey for July shows the economy struggling to expand as we move into the second half of the year. 'The sluggish output growth reported in July reflected headwinds of deteriorating order books, subdued business confidence and rising costs, all of which were widely linked to the ongoing impact of the policy changes announced in last autumn's budget and the broader destabilising effect of geopolitical uncertainty.' The data showed that growth was driven by the service sector in July, with firms highlighting an 'uptick' in consumer spending. Nevertheless, service businesses said they still faced headwinds linked to 'fragile domestic economic conditions' and wider uncertainty. Meanwhile, manufacturing production stabilised during the month after eight consecutive months of decline. Goods producers however said they were impacted by 'challenging business conditions', particularly in major export markets due to the continued fallout of the US tariff changes. Surveyed firms reported a drop in overall new work from the private sector, slipping to its weakest level for three months. Lower levels of new work contributed to another drop in employment, with the survey showing the fastest rate of 'job shedding' since February, with job cuts across the manufacturing and service sectors. Companies cited that higher labour costs, following rises in national insurance contributions and the minimum wage, led to a number of workforce restructurings. Mr Williamson said: 'Particularly worrying is the sustained impact of the budget measures on employment. 'Higher staffing costs have exacerbated firms' existing concerns over payroll numbers in the current environment of weak demand, resulting in another month of sharply reduced headcounts in July.'
