The Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued a final rule amending its aggregation regulations under part 150 to clarify which accounts and positions must be combined for position limit compliance. The amendments modify the ownership and control criteria for aggregation, specifically addressing exemptions for passive investments and establishing procedures for disaggregation relief based on notice filings or case-by-case applications. These changes apply to futures and options contracts on nine agricultural commodities and will also govern position limits for other exempt agricultural contracts if finalized.
