We would like to inform you of an upcoming adjustment to the margin requirements for several US stock CFDs in light of the approaching earnings season.
To help promote market stability and reduce potential risk during earnings announcements, the margin requirement for the stocks listed below will be temporarily adjusted to 20% (Leverage 1:5), effective May 9, 2025, at 16:30 (UTC+3).
How It Works
- Adjustment Day: May 9, 2025, at 16:30 (UTC+3)
- New Margin Requirement: 20% (Leverage 1:5)
- Leverage Reverts to Normal (1:20): One week after the stock’s earnings date
This change means you are required to maintain 20% of the trade’s notional value as margin, effectively reducing leverage to 5:1 These adjustments are designed to provide a safer trading environment during periods of increased market volatility tied to earnings releases.
