MUMBAI – The Multi Commodity Exchange Clearing Corp. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd., has raised its initial margin on all variants of gold contracts by 100 basis points to 7% effective Tuesday. The company has also increased the initial margin on all variants of silver contracts by 150 bps to 11.5%. The move comes as part of the periodic review of adequacy risk management measures, MCX Clearing Corp. said in a release.
Futures contracts of gold and silver on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India hit a fresh all-time high earlier in the day, tracking contracts on COMEX, due to growing expectations of further rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and continuation of the US government shutdown. Lingering trade tensions between the US and China also supported safe-haven demand for precious metals. End
