Position Limit

Low Sulphur Gasoil Futures is a physically delivered contract and constraints exist on the delivery capacity of installations in the ARA region. The Exchange's daily position management regime requires that all positions in any contract month must be reported to the Exchange on a daily basis. The Exchange has powers to prevent the development of excessive positions or unwarranted speculation or any other undesirable situation and may take any steps necessary to resolve such situations including the ability to mandate members to limit the size of such positions or to reduce positions where appropriate. During the final month of trading in a contract, the Exchange contacts holders of Low Sulphur Gasoil positions to confirm their intent and capability of making or taking delivery and may require that positions be reduced to limit position concentration, ensure price convergence with the physical market, and maintain market integrity.
