Revision of Margins on Friday, 4 May 2017 Due to Second Round of French Presidential Election
In light of the second round of France's presidential election that will be held on Sunday, 7 May, 2017, it is expected that markets will be volatile during the period of voting. With that anticipation, Blackwell Global will increase the margins on the following selected instruments from Friday, 4 May 2017, 9:00am (GMT). Please note that in anticipation of reduced liquidity prior to market-close which could potentially lead to the widening of spreads, Blackwell Global will stop pricing on Friday, 5 April, 2017, 8.45pm (GMT), 15 minutes before the market closes at 9:00pm (GMT). Feed opening on Monday, 8 May, 2017 will also be delayed for 15 minutes or until the market stabilizes. Effective on Friday, 4 May onwards:
