NEW DELHI – Gold and silver futures contracts will continue to attract additional margins, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India said in a circular Friday. The additional margin of 1% on all gold futures variants and the additional margin of 4.5% on silver futures will continue to be levied during the tender period, it said.
Tender period is the duration before a futures contract expires when sellers can mark their intention to deliver the underlying commodity physically. MCX had imposed the additional margins on Oct. 21 following a rapid rise in the prices of gold and silver.
An additional margin on contracts is imposed by the Multi Commodity Exchange Clearing Corp. Ltd. to cover potential market volatility or risk. It is a temporary requirement on top of the initial margin and is levied on both long and short positions to provide a buffer against unforeseen market fluctuations or potential defaults. End
