On this week’s installment of our Days of Futures Past series, we welcome Walt Lukken back into the SmarterMarkets™ studio. Walt is the President & CEO of the Futures Industry Association (FIA) and Former Acting Chairman & Commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sits down with Walt to turn back the clocks to Lukken's time at the CFTC. Throughout the episode, they cover the economic globalization of the early 2000s and its role in the growth of the exchange-traded derivatives market, the lasting influence of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA), Enron's collapse and its impact on energy market regulation, and Lukken's advice for future policymakers.
