CFTC Modifies Commodity Position Limits Proposal, Definition of Bona Fide Hedge | Practical Law
The CFTC issued for public comment a supplement to its December 2013 position limits proposal that modifies the definition of bona fide hedge for purposes of exemption from speculative position limits for physical commodity futures contracts and economically equivalent futures, options, and swaps. The supplement also modifies the procedures for seeking an exchange exemption for non-enumerated bona fide hedging.
