Comment Text:
I welcome the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act - price volatility for foodstuffs damages lives and leads to political instability. If the Act is to be effective the CTFC must not let the regulation be watered down. The proposed speculation limits must be fully implemented, and exemptions must be limited to businesses that deal in physical commodities. If financial institutions are allowed to hedge we will be back to instability and the risk of price bubbles.
Thank you, America, for leading the way on curbing food speculation. Please make sure that the Act is implemented effectively, without leaving loopholes.
