Article summary

Banking & Finance analysis: The US Commodity Futures Trading Association (CFTC) has provided market participants with relief from compliance with upcoming variation margin (VM) rules. Edward Ivey, an associate in the New York office of Linklaters LLP, says the important point to remember is that the CFTC relief is not a blanket relief, it applies to swap dealers (SDs) only for not being in compliance with CFTC rules as of 1 March 2017 and they must act in good faith to progress with compliance.
