What will be an ideal response?


CFTC claimed jurisdiction because Amaranth dealt in natural gas futures and option contracts. FERC claimed jurisdiction because it believed that Amaranth influenced physical gas prices. Because the NYMEX settlement price is used as the basis for many cash market transactions, FERC argued that Amaranth's trades increased natural gas prices to wholesale market participants, thereby harming natural gas customers.
