CME Hikes Silver Margin For Third Time In 7 Days,Raises Initatal.Maintaine Margin By 12%

 
Last week two silver margin hikes of 9% and 10% did nothing, which is why this week’s first hike (of many more) by 12% to the maintenance and initial margins was to be completely expected. We believe that nothing short of 100% margin (coupled with not one single ES margin hike by the Globex) will eventually placate the ardent Comex risk managers who are terrified their models may end up being wrong about “stuff.” One thing is certain: the panic is palpable and the administration will stop at nothing to prevent the $50 limit order from triggering silver’s surge to triple digits.
