New NYBOT Cocoa, Coffee And Sugar Position Accountability Rules

The New York Board of Trade (NYBOT), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IntercontinentalExchange (NYSE: ICE), announced amendments to its rules which, effective immediately, will add single month position accountability levels for the Cocoa, Coffee “C”® and Sugar No. 11sm contracts. The single month levels are identical to the existing all months combined position accountability levels for these contracts. The position accountability rules are set at a level at which a person, holding or controlling that quantity, or more, of futures equivalent contracts net long or net short in any single contract month or all months combined, automatically consents to stop increasing those positions if so ordered by the Exchange. When requested by the Exchange, the person also agrees to provide information about its positions.
