MUMBAI – The Multi Commodity Exchange Clearing Corp. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd., has levied an additional margin of 2% on near-month silver futures contracts from Friday end-of-day, it said in a release.
The levy will apply to silver futures contracts expiring on Dec. 5, silver mini futures contracts expiring on Nov. 28 and silver micro futures contracts, also expiring on Nov. 28, the release said. "In view of settlement holiday on 21st and 22nd October 2025, members are advised to keep sufficient margins in Clearing Member account for uninterrupted trading," it said.
Keeping in view the steadily rising prices of the white metal, the exchange had, as a risk management measure, increased the initial margin on all variants of silver contracts by 150 basis points to 11.5% from Tuesday. End
