Multi Commodity Exchange Clearing Corporation, part of the country’s largest commodity exchange, has levied an additional margin on gold and silver futures.
MCXCCL said in view of periodic review of adequacy of risk management measures and to mitigate systemic risk, it is decided to levy an additional margin of 4.5 per cent in silver futures contracts (all variants) and 1 per cent in gold future contracts (all variants) with effect from Thursday.
Further, an additional margin of 2.5 per cent in Silver Futures contracts (all variants) and 2 per cent in Gold futures contracts (all variants) from Friday over and above the margin levied on Thursday.
Both gold and silver prices have been volatile in the last few days. In addition, the volatility in value of the rupee against the dollar has enhanced the risk further in the domestic markets, said an analyst.
