Retail Foreign Exchange Transactions - Conforming Amendments

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) amended its regulations governing off-exchange foreign currency transactions with members of the retail public (i.e., retail forex transactions). These amendments incorporate into Part 5 of the Commission's regulations changes made to the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Commission also issued certain related technical interpretations of various provisions of the CEA as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act with respect to retail forex transactions.
