CFTC Announces Staff Roundtable Discussion On Non-Intermediation

<p><span>Staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will hold a public roundtable on May 25, 2022, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., to discuss issues related to intermediation in derivatives trading and clearing.&nbsp;</span></p>

A Time To Act

Dear Acting Chairman Behnam; On Feb 1, you stated that the Commission was closely monitoring recent activity in the silver markets, concluding that the agency remains vigilant in surveilling these markets for fraud and manipulation. As I am sure you are aware, a large segment of the investing public feels that the main source of an alleged fraud and manipulation of the silver market is the documented large concentrated short position in COMEX silver futures. The Commission had found this issue to be significant enough to post public letters addressing the matter in May of both 2004 and 2008, but clearly the issue has not gone away and has, in fact, intensified.  In terms of real world production, the concentrated short position in COMEX silver futures towers over the concentrated short positions in any other commodity, raising suspicions that it is this short position suppressing the price of silver.
