Newsletter January 2010: US energy trading limits less than feared

WASHINGTON – Moves by US regulators to limit speculation in energy futures, awaited with mixed feelings by non-US exchanges since last summer, appeared at first sight to be less draconian than many had feared.

As GRR went to press, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) proposed limits on energy speculation that could curtail the activities of large banks and swaps dealers in the markets for oil, natural gas, heating oil and gasoline. Speculators in energy markets will no longer enjoy the same trading rights as so-called ‘bona fide hedgers’ such as airlines and oil companies. As consumers and producers of energy commodities, such firms will be allowed to exceed the limits proposed on the number of energy futures one trader can hold.
