Volcker Rule Obama administration is backing off "Volcker rule"

The New York Post reports that "according to people familiar with the situation," the White House is abandoning the "Volcker Rule," a key reform named after the former Fed Chair that would prohibit proprietary trading at commercial banks. Instead, the paper's sources say, the administration will push for a new rule that requires banks that engage in prop trading to maintain higher capital reserves.
