ESMA risk assessment based on quantitative indicators and analyst judgement.In 1Q18, equity markets in the EU and elsewhere saw significant price corrections, with a 6% drop inEU stock prices in the week of 5 February alone, and the return of market volatility. The episodeconfirms our concerns that market risks are and will continue to be very high, resulting from ambitiousasset valuations in equities as well as market uncertainty as the period of ultra-low interest rates drawsto a close. Our outlook for liquidity, contagion and credit risk remains unchanged. Operational riskcontinues to be elevated, with a deteriorating outlook, as Brexit-related risks to business operations andvulnerabilities to cyber-attacks rise. Investor risks have been mounting across a range of products, andESMA has, following our earlier risk alert on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs)1, issued a pan-EU warning toconsumers regarding the risks of buying Virtual Currencies 2. Moreover, under the MiFIR productintervention powers, the ESMA Board agreed on a temporary prohibition of Binary Options andrestrictions on Contracts for Difference (CFDs)3, respectively.Risk summaryValuation risk materialised in early February withstrong correction on global equity markets,starting in the US, and spreading into otherjurisdictions, including the EU. Even thoughmarkets stabilised since, this episode pays tributeto the valuation risks and fragility of securitiesmarkets highlighted by ESMA in its previous riskassessments. Against this background, marketrisk remained at a very high level in 1Q18, andother ESMA risks categories remained at highlevels, reflecting very high risk in securitiesmarkets and elevated risk for investors,infrastructures and services. The level of creditand liquidity risk remained high with adeterioration in outstanding corporate ratings,deteriorating corporate bond liquidity measuresand with potential collateral scarcity signs stillpresent. Operational risk was elevated, with therapid growth in the number of VCs and ICOcampaigns as a source of risk for investors. Onthis matter, the ESAs issued a joint warning to123consumers in February. Cyber risk also remainsa major concern.R.2ESMA composite systemic stress indicatorLow, with equity driven spikes0.60.40.20-0.2-0.4Mar-14Mar-15Mar-16Equ ity mar ket con trib utio nMoney mar ket con trib utio nCorrela tio n contribu tionMar-17Mar-18Bon d market contribu tionESMA CISSNote: ESMA version of the ECB-CISS indic ator meas uring sys temic str ess insecurities markets.

ESMA Risk DashboardNo. 2, 2018Macroeconomic environment: Growth forecastsin the EU have been raised by the EuropeanCommission in its Winter 2018 Interim EconomicForecast4. In the US, the annual rate of headlineinflation (2.1% in January) was stronger than theconsensus forecast, reigniting investors’ fears ofmore aggressive interest rate increases. Themacroeconomic environment and its interactionwith market expectations, notably over futuremonetary policy actions, played an active role inFebruary’s market correction and remain asignificant risk source going forward.Low interest-rate environment: During 1Q18markets showed signs of a risk premia reversalrelated to a move out of the low interest rateenvironment. Starting in the US, stronger thanexpected economic recovery, inflation figuresand salary increases as well as a recent tax cutplan have renewed concerns over a moreaggressive monetary policy tightening thananticipated. This triggered a global equity sell offin February In the high-yield (HY) segment, yieldson the main benchmark, which had beendeclining since early 2016 started to increase atthe end of 2017, potentially reflecting a curbing ofsearch for yield behaviour5. HY bond funds alsoexperienced net outflows over the reportingperiod (R.25). Markets reactions to monetarypolicy actions and the phase-out of the lowinterest rates environment will be interlinkedgoing forward. Hence, our risk outlook for thiscategory is deteriorating.EU sovereign debt markets: Liquidity onsovereign bond markets, as measured by bid-askspreads (R.10) and the ESMA compositeilliquidity indicator (R.11) remained relatively lowin 1Q18 compared to historical levels. Fiscalfragilities remain at country level and repricingrisk in sovereigns following a more general riskpremia reversal in global markets still holds. Thisrisk has started to materialise at the beginning ofFebruary in equity markets and with increasingsovereign bond risk premia with respect to the DEbund around the equity sell-off, althoughsovereign bond spreads decreased later on.Sovereign yields decreased across jurisdictions,by 18 bps on average for ten-year bonds sincethe end of January.4been implemented successfully with long-termimpacts to be investigated. In relation to darktrading, ESMA published the first Double VolumeCap (DVC) data on 7 March. Volumes for theaffected securities declined by 10% in March, inparticular in dark pools (-85%). Generally,markets did not suffer major disruptions in 1Q18,including the episode of high equity price volatilityat the beginning of February. Nevertheless, thenumber of circuit breakers occurrences, whichaveraged at 104 occurrences per week inJanuary, jumped to 400 occurrences during theweek of 5 February. Overall, the average weeklynumber of circuit breaker occurrences was 169,around long-term averages (R.35). Regardingmarket infrastructures, central clearing continuedto increase as the implementation of the clearingobligation for derivatives is ongoing. With respectto securities settlement systems, followingcompletion of to the final migration wave to T2S,EU CSDs have applied for authorisation underCSDR. Two CSDs have already been authorisedand the process is ongoing for most of the others.Although the total value of settled transactions inthe EU remained around the same levels, theshare of settlement fails increased for equities atthe end of 1Q18 (R.38). Finally, cyber riskremained a concern for financial marketinstitutions especially with respect to theirbusiness continuity and the integrity ofproprietary data, as data theft is still the mainsource of breaches in the financial sector (R.43)Political and event risk: In the EU, Brexit remainsamong the most important political risks. Continuityof contracts and access to financial marketinfrastructures will be crucial to avoid potentialcliff-edge effects upon Brexit. Growinguncertainty around trade and global marketpolicies could also pose a threat to the continuedimprovement of trade and capital marketintegration in the EU and in other jurisdictions.Market functioning: MiFIDII/MiFIR entered intoforce on 3 January 2018 with preliminary analysisshowing that the new regulatory framework asts/winter-2018-economic-forecastICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA), ICEBofAML Euro High Yield Index Effective Yield[BAMLHE00EHYIEY], retrieved from FRED, FederalReserve Bank of St. HYIEY,April 18, 2018.

ESMA Risk DashboardNo. 2, 2018Risk categoriesMarket risk – very high, outlook stable: Marketswere mainly driven by reignited fears of a moreaggressive rise in interest rates by the FederalReserve this year, and the potential divergence indirecting rates across jurisdictions. Equitymarkets first increased in January, remaining ontheir ascending trend of 2017, but decreasedsharply after the publication of stronger thananticipated economic, inflation and wageincrease indicators in the US. This marketcorrection confirmed our ongoing concerns overhigh equity valuations and market uncertainty asthe period of ultra-low interest rates draws to aclose. The EuroStoxx 50 lost 6% between endJanuary and the end of 1Q18. Short-termexpectations of equity price volatility ticked upfrom 11.2% to close to 50% over these concerns,reaching multi-year highs (R.7). Exchange ratevolatilities also ticked-up, reflecting theappreciation of the EUR, notably against the USD(R.8).Liquidity risk – high, outlook stable: Acrossmarkets, episodes of deteriorating liquidityoccurred, especially since the February marketcorrections. The ESMA composite equity liquidityindex deteriorated in February before returning toits long-term average (R.4). For sovereign bonds,liquidity improved in 1Q18 although it starteddeteriorating toward the end of the quarter (R.10,R.11). Liquidity as measured by the Amihudindicator deteriorated in February and corporatebond bid-ask spreads also deteriorated sincethen (R.16). The trading volume of centrallycleared repos increased in January andFebruary, and started decreasing after (R.13).Collateral scarcity premia (i.e. the differencebetween general collateral and special collateralrepo rates) remained reactive to market events.High levels of collateral scarcity premia reflectpossible shortages of high-quality collateral(R.14). This may increase liquidity risk, volatilityin funding costs and reduce overall marketconfidence.Contagion risk – high, stable outlook: Onsovereign bond markets, the median correlationbetween Germany and other EU countries’ bonddecreased during the first half of 1Q18 althoughit remained above 0.9. Dispersion levels weremainly driven by low-rated member states whichwere subject to credit rating improvements duringthe quarter (R.19). As the repricing of equity haspartly materialised during 1Q18, contagion toother markets could occur via the highinterconnectedness of hedge funds to moretraditional banking activities (R.29). Financial5contagion can also occur via derivativeexposures. On derivative markets, CCPs play animportant risk mitigation role but can have thepotential to cause serious systemic risk in case offailure. In its second EU-wide CCP stress test,ESMA tested the resilience of 16 EuropeanCCPs. The results showed that overall thesystem of EU CCPs is resilient to multipleclearing member defaults and extreme marketshocks.Credit risk – high, outlook stable: In 1Q18, nonfinancial corporate bond spreads increased forlow-ratings (BBB) starting in February as a resultof asset reallocation and following marketmovements for equities and bonds. Spreadincreases were more pronounced for low-ratedbonds, which could be considered as a sign ofshifting risk perceptions linked to risk premiareversals. Spreads stood in the range of 79 bpsfor BBB-rated securities to 5.8 bps for the AAAclass (R.15). At the same time, credit quality ofoutstanding corporate bonds continued todeteriorate (R.17).Operational risk – elevated, outlook deteriorating:ESMA recently identified several significantinvestor protection and conduct risk concerns inthe EU. The ESAs issued on 6 February a panEU warning to consumers regarding the risks ofbuying Virtual Currencies. Risks highlightedinclude volatility and bubble risk, the lack of arobust secondary market, operational disruptionsas well as the lack of price transparency.Furthermore, virtual currency platforms are notregulated under EU law, and consumers do notenjoy any of the specific safeguards and legalprotections that are associated with regulatedfinancial services. In relation to Contracts forDifferences (CFDs) and binary options offered toretail investors, ESMA’s Board of Supervisorshas agreed on 27 March product interventionmeasures under Article 40 of MiFIR on theprohibition / restriction of marketing, distributionor sale of binary options and CFDs to retailinvestors. Regarding cyber risks, concerns areexpected to intensify in the medium to long termas financial data breaches are more and morefrequent when compared to breaches in othersectors (R.43); as a result, the risk outlook foroperational risk is deteriorating. Finally, the totalvolume of market participants’ complaintsdecreased over the reporting period, with theirmajority remaining linked to order execution forbond and equity securities (R.32-R.33). Thedispersion of Euribor submission quotesincreased in early 1Q18 (R.41), driven by thesubmissions of one bank.
