CME hikes margins for gold and silver following sharp price drop
Flipitmoney
CME Group is raising margins for Comex gold and silver futures due to market volatility. Gold margins rise to 8% (8.8% for heightened risk profile) and silver to 15% (16.5% for heightened risk profile). Increases take effect from Monday's close following a "normal review of market volatility" to ensure adequate collateral coverage, potentially edging out smaller traders.
