CME Raises Margin Requirements on Gold and Treasuries and Energy and Swiss Francs



...and Pesos, Rubles, etc. etc.

CME Boosts Margins - CME Site Bulletin

WSJ - CME Boosts Margins on Forex, Treasuries

Ok gold I understand, kind of. I just wondered if CME was going to raise margins and signal a bear raid in my gold chart commentary this afternoon.

But Treasuries?

Why be subtle? Why not just machine gun the lifeboats?

Git some. Git some. Get back in them big caps, tech, and bank stocks you wussies.

I wonder if this applies to Shanghai's SME and London's LBMA. lol.



h/t to Lee at Wall Street Examiner for the heads up.
