U.S. may limit energy trading

To ease price swings, U.S. may limit energy trading

Quote:
WASHINGTON — Federal regulators are hearing from consumers, businesses, traders and financial firms as they consider imposing limits on speculative trading of energy futures contracts — a move that would mark a major shift for the government.

The futures contracts are supposed to lessen price volatility. But speculators use them to bet on market prices, and critics say this magnifies price swings. Regulators, they maintain, have long let speculation in energy markets inflict financial pain, triggering wild price swings, hurting gasoline wholesalers, damaging airlines and squeezing consumers.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission was holding the first in a series of hearings on the subject on Tuesday.

Gee, great.

Don't they know that energy products trade around the world?

Let's push trading to London, that'll solve the "problem".

Not to mention Spot trading.
