For the listed instruments, we will increase our margin requirement to 20% corresponding to a leverage ratio reduction to 1:5.

The margin requirement increase will take place during the last trading session before the announcement and will run up until 30 minutes into the trading session after the announcement is made.

Important Notes

Kindly note that the increase in margin requirement will affect also open positions. Therefore, please make sure to monitor your open positions and utilised margin level and whether your accounts are sufficiently funded to sustain such an increase. You may need to close some open positions to increase your utilised margin or fund your account to keep positions open.
