WHITE PAPER
Commodity Exchange Act: Key Decisions from
2018 and Enforcement Trends to Monitor in 2019
2018 was an interesting year for market participants subject to the Commodity Exchange
Act (the “CEA”), with federal appellate courts issuing three noteworthy decisions involving
claims under the CEA. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) also issued
public statements in 2018 expressing new (or at least renewed) interest in insider trading
and market manipulation.
This Jones Day White Paper reviews significant 2018 developments regarding CEA claims
and identifies issues and trends to monitor in 2019.
