OREANDA-NEWS. August 6, 2010. The MICEX announces that the margin rate on all future contracts reduced. The move is made possible by the highly developed clearing and risk management system of the MICEX Group, providing broader screening and monitoring opportunities of the recent market environment and rapid respond to changes in market volatility.

The new margin rates are set with regard to the adequacy of the Reserve Fund cover of derivatives market risks and the capital of the MICEX Group.

The new margin rates are lower than margin rates on most similar instruments on the Russian futures market.
