Finance Magnates
As the Brexit referendum fast approaches next week, more and more brokers are reducing leverage by hiking margin requirements for select trading instruments where volatility could be highest as evidenced by the number of announcements – including the latest from Roboforex, Crown Forex, and ETX Capital.
Earlier today, Finance Magnates reported on Forex.com’s related margin increases and subsequently we covered the margin rates also going up temporarily for Fx Pro after the company's announcement, and now we follow with three additional firms that have also their leverage.
ETX Capital
ETX Capital took a number of related measures for the margin requirements for its trading products and emphasized that market volatility could increase significantly due to the Brexit vote on June 23rd, and how further changes to margin and spreads could follow as the date approaches.
The company said that for clients that don’t have 100% margin on their accounts, their positions may be closed at any time, as translated from Polish.
The company provided a table for some of its CFD indices and metals products regarding the margin changes. Products included the following CFDs and metals: UK 100 at 2.00% margin, Gold at 3%, Wall Street at 2.00%, Silver at 4%, SP 500 at 2.00%, Platinum at 5%, Germany 30 at 2%, Nymex Crude at 3%, France 40 at 2%, Brent Crude 3%, Euro Stocks 50 at 2%, Spain 35 at 5.00% and Italy 40 at 5% margin.

The pairs noted and accompanying margin rates included the following 12 pairs at 3% margin: GBP/USD ,EUR/USD, EUR/CAD, EUR/GBP, EUR/AUD, GBP/EUR, EUR/NZD, GBP/JPY, GBP/AUD, GBP/CAD, GBP/NZD and EUR/JPY.

Finally, the maximum leverage for cTrader accounts will be limited to 50:1 regardless of current levels, as noted in an update from Roboforex regarding the planned changes.
