Chicago's CME Unveils Margin Adjustments for Precious Metals and RU Futures
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange has revealed significant revisions to its margin requirements for several key commodities contracts. As disclosed on January 28 (with the notification issued the previous day), the exchange is recalibrating margin parameters for silver futures, as well as platinum and palladium—commonly traded under the RU designation—contracts.
The most notable update concerns silver futures margins, which will experience a substantial increase to approximately 11% of the contract's nominal value. These new requirements represent a tightening from previous levels and reflect evolving market conditions. The adjustments are set to become effective after the conclusion of trading on January 28, ensuring market participants have adequate notice.
Notably, the CME's announcement excludes any modifications to gold-related futures contracts, suggesting the margin revision is specifically targeted at these other precious metals. This selective approach by the Chicago exchange indicates a differentiated risk management strategy across commodity categories.
