BANKCOMM announced on February 11 that, in response to heightened volatility in domestic and international precious metal prices and increased market risks, the bank will adjust the margin ratios for deferred contracts under its Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) individual client agency business. The adjustment aims to adapt to market changes and protect investor interests.
Effective from the close of settlement on February 11, 2026, the margin ratio for individual clients trading Au (T+D), mAu (T+D), and Ag (T+D) contracts through BANKCOMM will be raised from 60% to 80%. Further adjustments to the margin ratios for these contracts may follow based on market conditions, with specific details to be announced separately.
BANKCOMM reminds investors that given the recent sharp fluctuations in precious metal prices and elevated trading risks, clients should closely monitor market developments, keep track of their positions and margin requirements, and appropriately manage position sizes to mitigate market risks.
