On April 22nd, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Market Oversight, Clearing and Risk, and Market Participants Division jointly issued a "Request for Comments" today to comprehensively evaluate the potential application scenarios, advantages and risks of implementing a 24/7 (24/7) trading model in the derivatives market under its supervision. "The CFTC must respond to market structural changes with a forward-looking perspective, ensuring market vitality and resilience while protecting the rights and interests of all participants," said Caroline D. Fan, acting chairperson of the CFTC. "The current market trend is emerging towards 24/7, 24/6 or 24/5 trading hours. We look forward to comments or suggestions from all walks of life on this innovation." The focus of this consultation includes: the differential impact of the expansion of the CFTC-regulated derivatives market to all-weather trading on trade clearing, risk management systems, market integrity that may be triggered by the 24/7 trading model, customer protection, and retail transactions. Challenges faced by supporting clearing systems in continuous operation environments.
