CFTC establishes new energy markets advisory committee

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has established an advisory committee to provide a public forum examining issues related to the energy markets and the CFTC’s role in them under the Commodity Exchange Act.

The commission’s acting chairman, Walter Lukken, will serve as chairman of the new energy markets advisory committee. Other members will be named at a later date, but will include representatives from the industry with knowledge of the energy markets, including exchanges, producers, market users and consumers.

“The role of the futures markets for discovering prices and managing energy price risks will continually raise new regulatory issues. Establishing this advisory committee will help us to meet these regulatory challenges and improve our understanding of and communication with the energy markets,” said Lukken.
