Aug 14 (Reuters) - The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has settled charges of position limit violations against trading house Vitol for a civil penalty of $500,000, the U.S. regulator said on Wednesday.
The case marks the CFTC's first use of its authority to enforce position limits on aggregate positions held on multiple exchanges, the commission said in a statement.
