[Multiple Chinese Banks Tighten Gold and Silver Leverage Trading, Margin for Gold and Silver Leverage Trading Soars to 140%] BlockBeats News, June 22: Huaxia Bank, Guangfa Bank, and Bank of China have successively issued official announcements to simultaneously adjust the margin ratio for deferred contracts in personal precious metals trading under the Shanghai Gold Exchange agency business. Among them, Huaxia Bank has uniformly raised the margin for all categories of gold and silver deferred contracts to 120%, while Guangfa Bank has increased the margin from 100% to 140%. The latest standards for both banks will take effect starting from the clearing at the close of trading on June 22. Additionally, starting from the clearing at the close of trading on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Bank of China will adjust the margin ratio for personal gold deferred contracts from 99.9% to 120%, and the margin ratio for personal silver deferred contracts from 99.96% to 119.91%. Wu Zewei, a special researcher at Suzhou Commercial Bank, stated that a margin ratio exceeding 100% means that the leverage for personal precious metals deferred trading has effectively been reduced to zero, which will have profound impacts on all market participants. For individual investors, the space for short-term speculative trading will be significantly compressed, capital utilization efficiency will sharply decline, high-frequency trading costs will rise substantially, and existing speculative funds will gradually exit the market. For the precious metals market, short-term trading volume may experience a decline, but irrational speculative bubbles will be effectively squeezed out, leading to a more stable and orderly market operation.
