AI Summary of Article 58 Position reporting by categories of position holders

Member States must ensure that investment firms and market operators trading commodity derivatives or emission allowances provide public reporting on position categories. For venues with options, two weekly reports are required, while those without options must submit weekly aggregate data. Reports will detail long and short positions, changes, and the number of position holders, communicated to competent authorities and ESMA for centralised publication.

Additionally, daily breakdowns of OTC positions must be reported to supervisory authorities. ESMA will establish technical standards for reporting formats and timing, whilst the Commission holds the power to set position thresholds based on open interest and holder counts.
