ESMA Margins

Question

Guest TradingTimes

Will IG change the EU ESMA Laws after Brexit in the UK?

 

Really need to know this as the new laws have made it virtually impossible for me to trade the way that i did before.

 

as the Law is EU based they should definitely consider changing the law or completely get rid of it all together.

Hey, 

Thanks for you message. No matter what happens with Brexit the FCA have announced that they will be keeping leverage the same for retail clients. You can read about this by following the link below:

It is unfortunate that the regulations have stopped some retail clients trading.

And it looks like Australia is going to go down the same route as well and as expected the new regulations have lead to a rise in brokerages starting up in less well regulated parts of the globe. There is an interesting new twist too with some of these new brokerages using Bitcoin for deposits and withdrawals which enables them to dodge other regulations such as a need for client proof of identity and residency as well as broker 'know your customer' documentation.

@Caseynotes You're quite right there are large changes in ACIS regarding margin.

With regards to the new brokerages allowing clients to fund with Bitcoin we have heard of it but not looking to offer this payment method to any offices.

ASIC Product intervention: OTC binary options and CFDs

With regards to the new brokerages allowing clients to fund with Bitcoin we have heard of it but not looking to offer this payment method to any offices. 

 

 

Thanks for the reply, can you check the ASIC link - is coming up as 'page cannot be found'.

quick read stopped for the draghi presser but, 

so an outright ban on binary options for retail,  

and initial margin of at least (for retail): gold 5%, indices 6.67%, commods other than gold 10%, crypto 50%, all else 20%.  

can't find FX, surely not under 'all else 20%'? otherwise basically in line with ESMA.

FX same as for Gold  5% (20:1)  big drop from 200:1 - worse than esma (3.33% - 30:1)

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
