Gold Futures Margins Increased 22% by CME as Investors Drive Record Rally
CME Group Inc. (CME), the world’s largest futures market, raised the
margins on gold contracts by 22 percent after prices surged to a record on
increased haven demand amid a deepening rout in global equities.
The initial-margin requirement, or the minimum amount of cash that
speculators must keep on deposit, will rise to $7,425 per contract from $6,
075 from the close of business today, CME said in a statement. The margin
for hedging will also increase 22 percent, rising to $5,500 from $4,500, it
said.
