Margin May Increase due to North Korea Situation

The FXOpen Team

Due to the growing political tension between North Korea and the USA, FXOpen may increase margin requirements up to 5 times their normal value without further notice, starting with the market opening on August 17th, 2017. The change may affect all traded financial instruments.

If introduced, the changes may help reduce the risk against the potential high volatility, rapid price movements or market gaps that may occur in case of further political escalation. Please consider this information in your trading and ensure you have sufficient funds on your account to maintain your positions.
