Statement Regarding Commission Relief Allows CME Market Participants To Transition Trading Activity Under More Reasonable Timeline, CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia
Today the Commission has issued relief to energy and agriculture commodities traders to allow them to transition to futures markets and provide relief until the end of the year from counting their positions in exempt and agricultural products in determining whether or not they qualify as a swap dealer. Despite coming at the 11th hour, I am supportive of providing this relief as broad new Dodd-Frank regulations come into effect today. This relief will allow market participants in the CME market to transition their trading activity to futures markets under a more reasonable timeline. The fact that market participants are fleeing the Commission’s swap regulations is proof that the Commission has not developed clear and cost-effective rules. I will work to ensure that there is a smooth transition for market participants. The Commission must proceed in a reasonable manner to accommodate this transition to the futures markets and continue to serve its fundamental role of hedging commercial risk.
