Position Limits for Derivatives and Aggregation of Positions

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has published two proposals to establish position limits for derivatives and aggregation of positions for 28 exempt and agricultural commodity futures and options contracts. The proposals aim to set limits on speculative positions and allow for hedging activities. The CFTC is reopening the comment period for an additional 45 days to allow for public feedback.
