CFTC to Host Public Roundtable on 24/7 Derivatives Trading
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will hold a public roundtable on December 15 to examine the feasibility of derivatives markets operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The session will cover the mechanics of keeping contracts trading through hours when activity has traditionally slowed or stopped, as well as infrastructure and staffing requirements for such a system. The CFTC aims to support market innovation while ensuring participant protection and maintaining trading integrity.
