Automatic Portability Transaction Regulations
SIFMA provided comments to the Department of Labor (DOT) on their proposed Automatic Portability Transaction Regulations under Section 4975 of…
SIFMA, together with the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA), filed a legal challenge to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) final rules that limit the positions that investors may own in certain commodities. The associations believe that the Position Limits Rule may adversely impact commodities markets and market participants, including end-users, by reducing liquidity and increasing price volatility. In addition, the Associations contend that the CFTC’s decision-making process in enacting the Rule was procedurally flawed.
While the associations strongly support financial regulatory reform that reduces systemic risks and helps to create a more robust and transparent global financial system, unfortunately, the Position Limits Rule as adopted by the CFTC was poorly crafted based on an incorrect reading of the law, and absent any sound economic or cost benefit analysis. It has the potential to harm markets at a time when they can least afford it.
