Political Quotes

On the recordJune 30, 2010
The exclusion from the definition of swap for 'any sale of a nonfinancial commodity or security for deferred shipment or delivery, so long as the transaction is intended to be physically settled,' is intended to be consistent with the forward contract exclusion that is currently in the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC's established policy on this subject. Physical commodity transactions should not be regulated as swaps as that term is defined in this legislation. This is true even if commercial parties agree to 'book-out' their delivery obligations under a forward contract. For those who may not be familiar with terminology used in the trade, a book-out is a second agreement between two commercial parties to a forward contract who find themselves in a delivery chain or circle at the same delivery point. They can agree to settle their delivery obligations by exchanging a net payment if there has been some change arising since the initial forward contract was entered into. Simply put, book-outs reduce transaction costs, and that saves consumers money.
