Dissenting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham On Commercial End-User Enforcement Action
Date 27/08/2024
I respectfully dissent on In re TOTSA TotalEnergies Trading SA because of the lack of evidence to support the alleged charges and the consequences of asserting that legitimate commercial hedging activity is illegal. Over the past several years, the pocketbooks of Americans and consumers all over the world have been hit hard by inflation and policies that have resulted in higher gas prices and tough choices for many families. Today, the CFTC is continuing down this road of anti-energy policies by relying on flimsy evidence that is speculative and circumstantial, on the one hand, and failing to account for the substantial evidence of market conditions and fundamentals driving supply and demand in European physical gasoline markets, on the other hand. Levying such a charge against a non-U.S. energy producer is no small matter and underscores the importance for the CFTC—or any other government agency—to know what it is doing and understand the facts before it makes allegations of attempted market manipulation and imposes fines of tens of millions of dollars.
