Position Limits

The G20 have committed to address commodity price volatility and improve regulation and supervision of commodity derivatives markets, including through the use of position limits. The US Dodd-Frank Act has mandated the introduction of position limits for certain commodity derivatives, while similar proposals are under discussion in the EU as part of the MiFID review process.
