A major change from the current definition deals with cross hedges and an ticipatory hedges. The Commission proposed to adopt a provision that prohibits exemption from speculative limits for positions held during the last five days of the contract month, except under special circumstances where the position has been approved in advance. Interested persons will have 60 days in which to submit written statements for consideration prior to final action.
