Gold Margin Requirements Raised: What Happened and Why It Matters

The CME Group, which operates the COMEX futures exchange where much of the world’s gold is traded, has raised margin requirements for gold futures contracts. Under the new rules, the initial margin for gold contracts under a non-heightened risk profile has been increased to 8 % of the contract’s value, up from 6 % previously. For positions under a heightened risk profile, margins have increased to 8.8 % from 6.6 %.
