A lot of lawyers are very "happy" nowadays.

Do you think the lawyers want to beat the Regulators to the punch-bowl?

Interesting.

The most eye opening thing to me was that 31.1% of all May contracts traded on Apr 20 were TAS, and that over 11000 TAS traded at limit down (-10c) compared to just 164 contracts in the entire year of 2019!!!

Of secondary interest was the high concentration of Long positions held by non-reportable's and reportable-other.

Also surprised that there was no discussion of 'other contracts settling based upon the April 20th settlement price'. For example the eMini QM and more importantly the ICE financial WTI contract both financially settled that day.

As Berkovitz's complaint states, disappointing that they didn't delve deeper into the trade activities, but maybe that's still to come.

This is related to oil going negative:



Basically, AMP has a new Class Action lawsuit against them because of what resulted after oil went negative, among other things.
