Due to ongoing tensions in the Gulf region, crude oil prices are seeing higher-than-usual volatility. As a result, margin requirements for the 19 March 2026 contract may increase.
What this means for you:
- You may need to maintain higher margins to continue holding your positions
- If your available balance falls short, your positions could be partially or fully squared off
- This square-off may happen without prior notice to manage risk
To avoid any disruption, we recommend keeping adequate funds in your account at all times.
