CAPC Meetings with CFTC

ABA Commodity and Agricultural Policy Chairman Hayden Wands (Sara Lee) met with CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler and other CFTC Commissioners on April 29 to discuss ongoing concerns with excessive volatility in the wheat market. 

ABA shared data with the CFTC showing the impact index funds have in the wheat market, arguing that index funds should operate within the confines of contract limits. 

ABA will continue to work with the CFTC to ensure that proper action is taken to address the ongoing undue market risks associated with index fund activity in the wheat market.
