Temporary Leverage Adjustment of Commodities 📆🔔

  • Andreas from Support

Dear Client,


Due to increased geopolitical risks in global markets and as part of our ongoing commitment to prudent risk management, we will implement temporary leverage adjustments on certain commodities every Friday, with normal leverage returning on Monday.

 

This measure will take effect from Friday, March 13, 2026, and will be applied every subsequent Friday until further notice.

 

The leverage of the following instruments will be reduced to:

• Gold (XAUUSD) – 1:50

• Silver (XAGUSD) – 1:50

• US Oil (WTI) – 1:50

• UK Oil (Brent) – 1:50

• Natural Gas – 1:20

 

Adjustment Time:

 

• The leverage limits above will be applied at 19:00 GMT before market close on Friday.

 

• Normal leverage conditions will be restored at 01:00 GMT after the market reopens on Monday.

 

These measures are preventative and aim to help maintain orderly trading conditions during periods of increased market uncertainty. We recommend that clients review their open positions and margin requirements, as these adjustments may affect the margin required to maintain positions.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

 

If you require further information, please contact your Account Manager or our Support Team

 

Sincerely,

FXGlobe Team
