华盛顿,4月16日(路透社)——据路透社看到的准备发言稿显示,美国最高衍生品监管机构将于周四向议员们保证,美国将严惩欺诈行为。目前国会山方面愈发担忧,石油、股票和预测市场的交易方正在非法利用来自白宫的内幕信息进行交易。

美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)现任主席迈克尔·塞利格的首次国会证词,是在有媒体报道其机构正在调查总统唐纳德·特朗普做出重大政策调整前夕执行的一系列石油期货交易的一天后发布的。

这份发言稿也回应了这个相对低调的机构如今突然受到的关注——该机构目前仅有塞利格一名委员,而非正常配置的五名委员。

“我想明确告诉任何在我们任何市场中从事欺诈、操纵或内幕交易的人,我们会找到你,你将面临法律的最严厉制裁,”塞利格在一份书面声明中说道。他定于美国东部时间上午10点(格林尼治标准时间14:00)在监督CFTC的众议院农业委员会作证。

路透社对特朗普政府有关关税、委内瑞拉和伊朗的重大决策前后的交易进行了复盘,这些决策引发了重大市场波动。复盘发现至少有四起交易,法律专家称,看起来投资者在事件发生前不久就已经知晓结果。

其中许多交易都属于CFTC的管辖范围。该机构新任执法主管大卫·米勒上个月表示,打击内幕交易和市场操纵是该机构的优先事项。

塞利格还可能面临众议院农业委员会成员的质询,内容包括该机构宣称对预测市场拥有独家管辖权——批评人士将此类市场比作国家监管的赌博——以及该机构与美国证券交易委员会(SEC)合作,推动两机构所称的数字资产新时代的工作。

CFTC成立于1974年,目前预算不足4亿美元,负责监管不断扩大且日益复杂的期货、掉期和事件合约市场,并准备在监管数字资产交易方面发挥核心作用。

该委员会通常有五名委员,其中包括两名少数党成员,但塞利格目前是其唯一委员。

WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) – Washington’s top derivatives regulator is due on Thursday to reassure lawmakers that the United States will punish fraud as concern mounts on Capitol Hill that oil, stock and ​prediction market players are illicitly trading on inside information from the White House, ‌according to prepared remarks seen by Reuters.

The first congressional testimony by the current chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Michael Selig, comes a day after media reports that his agency is investigating a series of ​oil futures trades executed shortly before major policy shifts by President Donald Trump.

The ​remarks are also a nod to the sudden spotlight in which the comparatively ⁠low-profile agency – which currently only sports one member, Selig, rather than its normal five – ​now finds itself.

“I want to be crystal clear, to anyone who engages in fraud, manipulation or ​insider trading in any of our markets, we will find you and you will face the full force of the law,” Selig said in a written statement. He is scheduled to appear before the House Agriculture ​Committee, which oversees the CFTC, at 10 a.m. EST (1400 GMT).

A Reuters review of trading ahead ​of major Trump administration decisions on tariffs, Venezuela and Iran that led to significant market moves showed at least four ‌instances where ⁠legal experts said it appeared investors knew what would happen shortly before it did.

Many of these trades fall within the CFTC’s jurisdiction. The agency’s new enforcement director, David Miller, said last month that policing insider trading and market manipulation were priorities for the agency.

Selig is also likely ​to face questions from ​members of the House ⁠Agriculture Committee about his agency’s assertion of sole jurisdiction in overseeing prediction markets, which critics liken to state-regulated gambling, and its work with ​the Securities and Exchange Commission in embracing what the agencies say ​will be a ⁠new era for digital assets.

With a current budget of less than $400 million, the CFTC, created in 1974, is charged with policing an expanding and increasingly complex set of markets for futures, swaps ⁠and ​event contracts, and it is poised to take on a ​central role in overseeing trade in digital assets.

The commission normally has five members, including two from the minority party, ​but Selig is currently its lone member.
