+===Regulator informal action===
+Does a [[regulator]]’s direction to ditch a hedge mean a [[hedging party]] is “unable to commercially reasonably maintain” its [[hedge]]? As long as there is no regulatory-approved alternative means of hedging (you know, but [[futures]], for example), then yes – the apprehension of sanction by the regulator (be it a monetary penalty, adverse publicity or the regulator barring you from operating in its market or even a dim view being taken) - just the general aspiration to maintain good relations with a body having power to regulate your operations — provided it is sincere — is a [[reasonable]] commercial consideration which would prevent you from maintaining that hedge.
 ===Why the “why should I pay your hedging costs? I have no control over them” argument is bogus===
 Because [[synthetic PB]] is just cash brokerage done with derivatives and you would wear them in a cash trade, is why.
