BREAKING: CME Raises Margin Requirements on Precious Metals

The CME Group just Dropped Advisory #25-393 with major margin hikes on:

🥇 Gold

🥈 Silver

🔘 Platinum

🔘 Palladium

Effective: Monday, December 29, 2025

What this means:

➡️ #Silver futures margin jumping to $25,000 for March 2026 contracts

➡️ Traders who can't meet new margin requirements face forced liquidation

➡️ This typically causes short-term selling pressure on precious metals

Why it Matters:

Back in 2011, CME raised Silver Margins 5 times in 9 days, Silver crashed 30% as overleveraged traders got wiped out.

This is the second margin hike on silver this month alone. The first one on Dec 12 triggered a sell-off of 67 million ounces in just 15 minutes.

Key takeaway:

If you're Holding Leveraged Positions in Precious Metals Futures, Check your Margin Requirements NOW before Monday's open. Expect volatility.

This is Not Financial Advice. Always DYOR.
