Australia

No material developments in the last 24 hours. ASIC has not yet published outcomes on CS 59 (RG 264 Sell-Side Research, submissions closed 21 Aug) or CS 60 (low-volume financial markets instrument, submissions closed 20 Aug); both remain open items. No new ASX, Cboe Australia or TMX Australia notices of note, and no fresh RBA communications — the cash rate stays on hold at 4.35% following the 11 August decision, with the next Monetary Policy Board meeting scheduled for 28–29 September. Treasury's climate-related financial disclosure efficiency consultation (opened 24 Aug) remains open, closing 2 October.

New Zealand

No material FMA or NZX items in the window. MBIE's Capital Markets Reform Phase Two consultation closed yesterday (25 Aug, 5pm) with no outcome or submission summary published yet — too early to expect one. The RBNZ did not meet in the window; the OCR remains at 2.50%, with the next Monetary Policy Statement due 2 September.
