The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is an independent agency of the US government, created by Congress in 1974, whose mission is to promote the integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of the US derivatives markets through sound regulation. The Commission regulates the US futures, options, and swaps markets, working to protect market participants and the public from fraud, manipulation, and abusive practices, and to foster open, transparent, competitive, and financially sound markets. As part of its oversight, the CFTC publishes the weekly Commitments of Traders report, which details the aggregate positions held by different categories of traders across the futures markets it regulates.
