Flipitmoney
CME Group raised margin requirements on Comex gold and silver futures to 8% (gold) and 15% (silver) of the contract value, up from 6% and 11% respectively, due to heightened volatility. Platinum and palladium futures also saw increases. The new requirements take effect from Monday's close, aiming to safeguard market stability and prevent sharp price swings.
