CFTC Discontinues Index Investment Data Reports

The CFTC will discontinue the collection and release of the monthly Index Investment Data ("IID") Report for select commodity index position data. The decision was made because the reports are not being utilized when compared to larger CFTC reporting initiatives.

The IID Report is a compilation of commodity index investment position data derived from information requests to swap dealers and various index traders. This data collection predates the enhanced reporting regime implemented by the Dodd-Frank Act. The CFTC began releasing this data in September 2009 on a quarterly basis until June 30, 2010, when it began to be published monthly.

The final release of the IID Report will be issued on November 25, 2015, for data collected from the month of October 2015.
