In the ongoing saga of the CFTC Position Limit Rules, the CFTC extended the comment periods for the Proposed Aggregation Rules and the Proposed Position Limits Rules until August 4, 2014.
The Proposed Position Limits Rules establish speculative position limits for 28 exempt and agricultural commodity futures and options contracts and the physical commodity swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts. The Proposed Aggregation Rules amend existing regulations setting out the policy for aggregating the positions of affiliated entities under the CFTC position limits regime. The CFTC extended the comment period to provide interested parties with an opportunity to comment on the issues regarding position limits for physical commodity derivatives, which were discussed at the CFTC Staff's public roundtable on June 19, 2014.
Good day. Good commenting. TSR
