The US market regulators are unlikely to suspend mark-to-market, according to
reports.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to leave guidance alone on

Wall
Street Journal that it was unlikely a study, which will be
released on 2 January, would include reference to altering implementation of
mark-to-market accounting.
