ASIC's acting commissioner, Malcolm Rogers, told the Senate estimates committee earlier this year that the regulator was looking at whether it should monitor trading in CFDs, as it does with stock exchange-traded securities. He said the ASX and other market players had raised "some concerns" about the relationship between CFDs and on-market trading.
"We are looking at that issue and hope to engage in dialogue with the industry and see if there is a problem," Mr Rogers said.
