9:40 AM Market Briefing: Why the Midterms Matter: An American civics primer for Europeans

The US midterm elections can influence the balance of power in Congress and the administration's ability to advance policy. For European investors, these dynamics matter as US fiscal policy, regulation, trade and geopolitical decisions continue to affect global markets.

This informative session will outline the political forces shaping the midterms, explain how different outcomes could affect policy and markets, and highlight the key developments European investors should watch.

3:50 PM Repo Fireside Chat: Modernising Funding Access: What are the core drivers of electronification and innovation shaping the repo market in 2026?

Electronification in repo is accelerating as expanded central clearing, sponsored access models and regulatory change reshape how funding and collateral are managed. Implementation of mandatory clearing requirements and growing platform connectivity are influencing liquidity access, balance sheet usage and operational design. As participation broadens and infrastructure evolves, repo is becoming more automated, more transparent and more strategically important to trading and treasury functions.  

This fireside chat will examine the structural drivers behind electronification, the practical implications for funding resilience and collateral optimisation, and how firms can position themselves to benefit from continued innovation in the repo market.
