The European Commission has published draft rules on trading in complex financial products, saying it currently operates in a “Wild West territory”. The body wants to create a watchdog to monitor the derivatives market – products used to make bets on assets without buying them. Officials also want to assess the extent of short-selling, when traders bet on asset prices falling. The practices have widely been blamed for causing economic instability.
