In three orders published today in the Federal Register, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) designated the Mid-C Financial Peak (MDC) and Mid-C Financial Off-Peak (OMC) contracts traded on the IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (ICE) as “significant price discovery contracts” (SPDCs). As SPDCs, these contracts will be subject to regulation similar to futures contracts.

In separate orders also published today, the CFTC determined that the Mid-C Financial Peak Daily (MPD) contract, the Mid-C Financial Off-Peak Daily (MXO) contract, and the Fuel Oil-180 Singapore Swap (SZS) contract do not perform a significant price discovery function.
