ESMA updates its Q&A on MiFID II commodity derivatives topics
March 27, 2018--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has today updated its Questions and Answers (Q&As) on the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and Regulation (MiFIR) regarding commodity derivatives topics.
These Q&As provide clarification on issues related to the MiFIDII/MiFIR regime for commodity derivatives, including on position limits, position reporting, and ancillary activity.
New or revised answers are provided on the following topics:
Position limits: the Q&A clarifies the circumstances under which less liquid contracts may receive bespoke position limits established by the relevant national competent authority (NCA); and it introduces a tailored approach to the development and application of commodity position limits for spread contracts (i.e. spread positions are disaggregated, and the subsequent individual constituent positions are added to the relevant overall position for the relevant contract).
