Acceptance grows on position limits; players, consumers divided on details

摘要

Both financial players and consumers believe position limits in energy - whether newly imposed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or tightened by exchanges - are only a matter of time, but testimony from both sides continues to showcase a divide over the particulars.rnCFTC Chairman Gary Gensler said he was pleased that both groups are accepting the likelihood of tighter energy trading limits. "No longer must we debate the issue of whether or not to set position limits," Gensler said. "There are three very important questions that do remain: Who should set position limits? Who should be exempted from position limits? And at what level should position limits be set?"
