  • Dissenting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Dan M. Berkovitz Regarding Final Rule On Position Limits For Derivatives

    Date 16/10/2020

    Introduction

    I dissent from today’s position limits final rule (Final Rule).  The Final Rule fails to achieve the most fundamental objective of position limits: to prevent the harms arising from excessive speculation.  It is another disappointing chapter in the Commission’s 10-year saga to implement Congress’s mandate in the Dodd-Frank Act to impose speculative position limits in the energy, metals, and agricultural markets.  In a number of instances, the Final Rule appears more intent on limiting the actions and discretion of the Commission than it does on actually limiting such speculation.

  • Supporting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz Regarding Position Limits For Derivatives

    Date 16/10/2020

    I am pleased to support the agency’s revitalized approach to position limits.  The rulemaking finalized today follows four proposals since the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act and is, by far, the strongest of them all.  I commend Chairman Tarbert for his leadership in completing this rulemaking.  I am very pleased that today’s final rule echoes the key policy points I outlined in my remarks before the 2018 Commodity Markets Council State of the Industry Conference.  The new position limits regime will provide commercial market participants with sufficient flexibility to hedge their risks efficiently and will promote liquidity and price discovery.
