Commodity Futures Trading Commission — observed across 2 documents over 33 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.
In plain English
The government is proposing to let people trade energy futures contracts 24 hours a day instead of limited hours, and to create new contracts that track the actual prices of physical energy without expiring. If you trade energy commodities or use contracts to lock in prices, comment by August 26 about how round-the-clock trading and these new contract types might change your business.
