From market open on 20 June, the margin requirements will be increased by 200% for EUR pairs and by 100% for all remaining instruments. Furthermore, the margin call level will be raised to 150% and the stop out level will be adjusted to 100%. Increased margin requirements will also apply to pre-existing positions.
