CME Group revamps precious-metals margin calculations
CME
- CME Group will shift margin calculations for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures from fixed dollar amounts to a percentage of notional value, effective after the close on Jan. 13, 2026, to better align collateral with market moves.
- The change comes after extreme volatility in precious metals, with gold up ~65% in 2025 and briefly topping $4,600, silver +170%, platinum +150% and palladium +95% as of Jan. 6, 2026.
- This adjustment aims to reduce frequent manual margin resets and enhance risk management amid record highs and dramatic price swings.
- CME Group’s robust financial profile (operating margin ~64.98%, net margin ~58.84%, debt-to-equity ~0.12 and market cap ~$95.55 billion) supports its capacity to implement these risk-setting enhancements.
