CME AGAIN RAISES MARGIN - THIS IS A WARNING SIGNAL
From February 2, CME Group is raising margin requirements for precious metal futures for the second time in 4 days (document No. 26537).
What does this mean:
Margin - money to maintain a position. A sharp increase in it = stress and panic in the market.
They do this when the exchange fears chain liquidations and problems with large players.
The drop on Friday is not a correction but a forced "cleaning": those who did not add margin were liquidated.
Similar actions took place before the crises of 2008 and 2020.
New margin increase:
gold: +33%
silver: +36%
platinum: +25%
palladium: +14%
Conclusion: someone big is on the edge. Exchanges are preparing for bankruptcies.
This may just be the beginning - next under pressure are stocks and banks.
I expect another dump.
