has indicated to its clients that it will be raising margin
requirements on JPY currency crosses, as well as on spot metals and
indices, ahead of Japan’s general election set for next Sunday, October
22.
The margin changes will come into effect on Friday, October 20,
2017 at 15:00 GMT, and will affect both new and existing positions.
The FxPro note to clients on the matter reads as follows:
| Dear Client, |
| The upcoming Japanese General Election, which will be held on Sunday, October 22, 2017, might cause periods of volatility in the financial markets and affect available liquidity. |
| We would like to inform our traders that the margin requirements of
the below instruments on all FxPro platforms will change as follows: |
|
| Instrument |
Margin Required |
| ALL JPY crosses |
1% |
| Spot Metals |
1% |
| Indices (Spot & Futures) |
2% |
|
|
| This change will come into effect on Friday, October 20, 2017, at 18:00 (GMT+3) and will affect both new and existing positions. |
| While we make all possible efforts to keep spreads at a minimum,
please note that wider spreads may be observed across several
instruments. |
| Prior to and in the aftermath of the election, FxPro reserves the
right to allow fixed spreads to float to reflect underlying market
conditions. |
| In case of extreme volatility and illiquidity, FxPro reserves the
right to refuse the opening of new positions, enabling ‘Close Only’
functionality. |
| Please note that, should market conditions deem it necessary, FxPro
reserves the right to make additional changes to our trading conditions
in the days prior to and after the Japanese General Election. |
| We strongly advise you to monitor any open positions that you may
have and visit the FxPro Blog frequently for any important updates. We
shall also be notifying you via email, should any other changes to the
current margin requirements come into effect. |
