FXOpen may increase margin due to tension between North Korea and the USA

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

We are taking this measure to reduce your risk due to 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.
