CFTC Staff Told to Retract Analysis of Suspicious Oil Trades
Original: CFTC Staff Were Told to Retract Analysis of Suspicious Oil Trades
Bloomberg reports that staff at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission were instructed to withdraw an analysis examining suspicious oil trades linked to Iran. The report has sparked criticism that political appointees may be suppressing market-surveillance work connected to Iranian oil flows, raising questions about regulator independence and enforcement of sanctions-related trading activity.
Why now: Fresh reporting alleging political interference at a US market regulator touches on sanctions, Iran and oil, all highly sensitive current topics.
