Summary:

Summarizes and analyzes selected issues faced by CFTC, which was established to oversee futures and options markets, including commodities and financial market instruments such as interest rate futures. Examines implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), which brought previously unregulated over-the-counter derivatives under CFTC oversight; and reviews market oversight and other issues.
