MUMBAI – The current additional margin of 1% by the Multi Commodity Exchange of India on all variants of gold and silver near-month futures contracts on the exchange platform will continue to be levied during the tender period, it said in a circular Wednesday.
An additional margin on contracts is imposed by the exchange 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.
Tender period is the duration before a futures contract expires when sellers can mark their intention to deliver the underlying commodity physically. "The measure has been announced "as part of periodic review of adequacy of risk management measures members," the exchange circular said. End
