CME Relaxes Margins: Will "Gold Rush" Comeback?

Effective after the close on March 6, 2026, the CME Group has slashed initial margin requirements for Gold (from 9% to 7%) and Silver (from 18% to 14%). This move signals an end to a relentless cycle of six consecutive margin hikes that aimed to curb the "volatility" in early 2026. The fundamental demand remains institutionalized: the World Gold Council reports a massive $5.3 billion net inflow into gold ETFs in February, 9 consecutive month of growth. Will margin cut invite a fresh wave of leveraged speculators? Will gold start a sustained rebound?
