    💰

    Nasdaq PHLX LLC filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to adjust certain fees for its market data products based on inflation. The changes are intended to restore fees to their original real value, as many have not been updated for years and have decreased in real terms due to inflation. The adjustments will be phased in over three years, starting in 2025. The exchange claims this change is necessary to recoup investments made to enhance their products and maintain technology infrastructure, ensuring they continue to meet the needs of their customers.

    Simple Explanation

    Nasdaq PHLX LLC wants to raise some prices because money doesn't buy as much as it used to, and they need to make sure they have enough to keep their stuff updated and working well. Some people are unsure if this is really fair because it might feel like the prices are going up too much or too fast without a clear reason.

  • 2025-00361 — Department of State 2025 Civil Monetary Penalties Inflationary Adjustment
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1866
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Department of State issued a final rule to adjust civil monetary penalties (CMP) across several regulatory areas, including fraud, chemical weapons, arms control, and lobbying. The adjustments align with annual inflation guidelines set by the Office of Management and Budget based on a December 2024 cost-of-living adjustment multiplier. These new penalty amounts will apply to violations occurring on or after the rule's effective date, January 10, 2025. The rule ensures penalties keep up with inflation, following mandates from recent legislation and guidelines.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of State has decided to raise the fees for breaking certain rules, like cheating or breaking weapon laws, to keep up with inflation, so that these fees still feel like a good "ouch" if someone does something wrong. They've used some special rules to do this quickly, and the new fees start from January 10, 2025.
