Commodity Futures Trading Commission: Aggregation and Position Limits for Futures and Swaps

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes modifications to its aggregation policy under the position limits regime for futures and swaps. The rulemaking responds to a petition and comments requesting clarifications on exemptions for federal law restrictions and the creation of new exemptions for owned non-financial entities. These changes aim to adjust how market participants aggregate positions across accounts to determine compliance with statutory position limits.
