CME Raised Margin: Silver -9%! Time to Pivot on Precious Metals?

Silver futures fell 9% after CME Group announced on December 30 that margin requirements for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures will be increased following Wednesday’s market close. The higher margin requirements mean traders will need to post more collateral when trading precious metals futures, effectively reducing the amount of leverage available. This regulatory move has put investors on alert and sparked concerns over whether the recent rally in precious metals can be sustained. Is this a healthy risk-control measure—or a signal that the rally may be overheating?
