Please note that all assets with Swiss franc (CHF) will have the margin requirement amended as our Liquidity Providers anticipate risk in markets associated with a possible rate intervention by the Swiss National Bank (SNB). The leverage on CHF assets will be reduced to 1:33 for normal account types and 1:10 for Swing account types. This will affect new and existing positions starting on Monday, 23 August 2021, at 11:00 CEST (09:00 GMT). If you have currently open positions on CHF, please make sure to manage them accordingly. We advise caution as there is a likelihood of possibly increased volatility in the markets. This measure is in place until further notice and is being monitored by our risk team.
