CFTC Staff Extends No-Action Position for Certain Package Transactions from the Trade Execution Requirement for Swaps

WASHINGTON — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Division of Market Oversight today extended its no-action positions in CFTC Letter No. 22-15 regarding swaps executed as part of package transactions where at least one individual swap component is subject to the trade execution requirement under Commodity Exchange Act Section 2(h)(8), and all other components are futures contracts (MAT/Futures Package Transactions). 

This extension enables DMO to continue considering the appropriate response for swap components of these types of package transactions.
