Rule proposed to protect agriculture, energy, metals, and financial markets.

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has proposed a rule to require futures commission merchants (FCMs), swap dealers and major swap participants to establish an “operational resilience framework”.

It is the CFTC’s first proposed cyber and operational resilience rule that would apply to swap dealers (including banks) and FCMs.
