CFTC Withdraws Two No-Action Letters Granting Relief from Federal Speculative Position Limits on Soybeans, Corn and Wheat Contracts
Washington, DC – The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced that it is withdrawing two no-action letters that provided relief from federal agricultural speculative positions limits set forth in CFTC regulations (17 C.F.R §150.2).
“I believe that position limits should be consistently applied and vigorously enforced,” CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler said. “Position limits promote market integrity by guarding against concentrated positions.”
The ex-Goldman head of the CFTC has not removed GS' exemption, has he? Maybe I missed that part.

I think stuff related to marketing is very concerning.
Ever since marketing is primordial for our society, I just hope it is well used.
By the way, this seems to be a crucial matter.
