The Trump administration on Friday urged the overhaul of key rules underpinning trading in U.S. stock, bond and derivatives markets, calling on regulators to loosen dozens of restrictions imposed on Wall Street after the financial crisis.

While some of the changes would require congressional action, most could be accomplished by rewriting regulations. The markets review was spurred by President Donald Trump's February executive order calling for a broad rethink of financial regulations.
