【 摘 要 】

This report analyzes the development of regulation for energy derivatives (financial contracts whose value is linked to changes in the price of some energy product).Regulation may be needed [1] to help prevent abusive trading and price manipulation, and [2] to help prevent the failure of a large derivatives dealer which could trigger disruptions of supplies and prices in oil and gas markets.
