High Volatility - Margin Requirement increased for EU Summit (UK parliamentary sitting)
We would like to inform you of a possible extraordinary UK parliamentary sitting on Saturday 19th October 2019 where a vote may be held on a Brexit deal achieved at the EU Council meeting this week.
Due to the well publicised uncertainty created by Brexit, we would urge all clients to prepare for potentially large market movements and volatility which may cause market gaps.
To manage your account effectively, please ensure that you review your margin rates and that there is sufficient collateral to cover your exposure.
Margin Requirement increased before the event
Note that HYCM will be increasing margin requirements on some of the products as the results of EU Summit this week are likely to cause increased market volatility.
Those changes will be temporary and HYCM hopes to return all the trading conditions to normal on Monday 21st October 2019.
The temporary increase to the margin requirements will become effective from Friday, 18th October 2019.
