February 8, 2010

Previously published on January 26, 2010

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today published in the Federal Register for public comment proposed amendments to its speculative position limit rules. The proposed rules would be the first expansion of CFTC-set speculative position limits to products beyond agricultural commodities. The proposed speculative position limits would apply to four energy commodities: (1) Henry Hub natural gas; (2) light sweet crude oil (West Texas Intermediate); (3) New York Harbor No. 2 heating oil; and (4) New York Harbor gasoline blendstock.
