U.S. Regulators Told to Adapt to Round-the-Clock Trading in Commodity Markets

U.S. regulators are facing renewed calls to adapt derivatives rules as round-the-clock trading gains prominence in commodity markets.

Hypersensitive Policy Center and trade[XYZ] say a formal framework for energy perpetual contracts would let American businesses manage oil-related risk during weekend geopolitical shocks.

The organizations highlight that 24/7 platforms like Hyperliquid allow trading during supply shocks, such as weekend Middle East disruptions, when traditional oil futures markets remain closed.
