Policy & Regulation News

Regulation moves markets through costs and permissions: a new rule changes what a business must spend, a ruling changes what it may do, and an antitrust case changes whether a merger happens at all. The desk tracks the SEC, FTC, DOJ, and the major legislation working through Congress, always answering the same question - which sectors and companies does this actually touch, and how much?

Policy stories move slower than market stories but often matter more, because they reset the rules an entire industry operates under for years. Coverage links each action to the wiki entries on the agencies and processes involved, so a headline about an HSR second request comes with the explanation of what that stage means.
