Commodities Derivatives Regulation
The Austrian Financial Market Authority issued the Commodities Derivatives Regulation to establish position limits and reporting exemptions for exchange-traded commodities certificates. The rule sets a uniform position limit of 2.5 million units for certificates with an issue size not exceeding 10 million units, while fully waiving weekly aggregated and daily position reporting obligations for those with an issue size of 2.5 million units or less. This framework, grounded in the Stock Exchange Act 2018, entered into force on 3 January 2018 to streamline market operations for securitised bearer bonds.
