26188 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 88 / Friday, May 5, 2000 / Notices

1For most futures contracts, the amount of the

commodity delivered is fixed (e.g. 5,000 bushels of

corn), while only the number of dollars paid for the

commodity varies as the futures price varies.

dollars delivered nor the size of the

basket of currencies is fixed.1 Rather,

both amounts vary in the same direction

as the futures price (or index level)

changes. Specifically, if the Index rises,

the long receives more dollars, but is

also obligated to pay more foreign

currency units. Conversely, if the Index

declines, the long receives fewer dollars,

but is obligated to pay fewer foreign

currency units.

The Division requests comment on

the above-noted delivery provision.

How does this novel delivery provision

affect the hedging or price discovery

functions of the futures contract? Also,

under this delivery procedure, can

market participant who make or take

delivery realize profits or losses in the

contract?

For most physical delivery futures

contracts, it is not possible to benefit

from manipulating the daily settlement

price used in delivery invoices, since

any benefit to a futures margin account

would be offset by losses associated

with that invoice price at delivery. In

the revised USDX contract, the final

settlement price would be used to

determine both the invoice price and

the amount of currency delivered. The

Division requests comment regarding

whether, given the unusual terms of the

revised USDX futures contract, it is

possible to benefit from manipulating

the proposed final settlement price and,

if so, whether the final settlement price

is readily susceptible to manipulation.

The proposal was submitted to the

Commission under the Commission’s

45-day Fast Track procedures of

Commission Regulation 1.41(b)(2).

Under these procedures, absent

Commission action to the contrary, the

proposal would be deemed approved at

the close of business on May 30, 2000.

In view of the limited review period

under the Fast Track procedures, the

Division has determined to publish for

public comment notice of the proposal

for 15 days, rather than 30 days as

provided for proposals submitted under

the regular review procedures.

Copies of the proposed amendments

will be available for inspection at the

Office of the Secretariat, Commodity

Futures Trading Commission, Three

Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st St., NW,

Washington, D.C. 20581. Copies of the

proposed amendments can be obtained
