ReutersJul 16, 2025 11:31 PM
July 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Wednesday began staff firings that are expected to affect about two dozen people, according to an agency source, after the Supreme Court last week cleared the way for mass government firings.
About two dozen staff from the CFTC's enforcement, market oversight, administration and data divisions are expected to be affected as part of a more general reorganization at the regulator, the source said.
The CFTC had about 630 full time equivalent staff positions in fiscal 2025, according to an agency report.
