Due to the limitations applied on the LIGHT.CMD/USD liquidity flow by certain counterparties amidst the extremely volatile market conditions, Dukascopy Bank is temporarily constraining trading on that instrument for its clients. Starting from the publication of this announcement traders won’t be able to increase their exposures in LIGHT.CMD/USD.

At this stage the Bank is not imposing compulsory closure of existing positions. However, clients are informed about the possible price feed interruptions and reduced liquidity during eventual position closure attempts.

The restriction on exposure increase is entering into force immediately for clients of Dukascopy Bank and Dukascopy Europe and is to remain effective until further notice.

Considering the dramatic volatility of Oil prices and risk of its trading with negative values or close to zero, Dukascopy Bank announces its intention to further change Oil related margin trading conditions.

The Bank informs its clients in advance, that further leverage reduction could be introduced to 1:5 for CFDs on Oil should the price of BRENT.CMD/USD or LIGHT.CMD/USD reach of 10 USD. Taking in account the current volatility, such changes may happen unpredictably and suddenly and Dukascopy Bank will be forced to implement a reduced leverage with immediate effect.

Dukascopy is asking clients to consider the above mentioned information while managing their positions and trading accounts. Also Dukascopy warns that should BRENT.CMD/USD or LIGHT.CMD/USD prices continue to drop and reach 5 USD, Dukascopy may further reduce the leverage depending on the situation (including to the level 1:1 or even temporary disabling further trading for CFDs on Oil).

The above mentioned measures concern both Dukascopy Bank and Dukascopy Europe.

Oil prices have become strongly affected by political decisions and rumors recently, resulting in a significant increase of volatility and heightened probability of large price gaps. The bank expects nervous market reactions to any decision of upcoming OPEC+ session. In order to reduce risks, particularly the possibility of negative equity, Dukascopy Bank is temporarily reducing leverage on oil CFDs (BRENT.CMD/USD, LIGHT.CMD/USD and DIESEL.CMD/USD) to 1:10.

The leverage reduction measure will be applied in two steps:
•  For clients with no open positions in the instruments concerned the change will be done today (Wednesday. 8.04.2020) at 15:00 GMT.
•  For clients with open exposure in any of the three instruments named, the reduced leverage will come into force on Thursday 9.04.2020 at 7:30 GMT.

We invite all traders with open positions in the instruments concerned to evaluate if additional measures such as reducing their exposure or addition of funds is needed.

The reduced leverage will stay in force until further notice.

During the upcoming Easter weekend, several markets will be closed. Details of trading schedules can be checked here.

Market behavior and market movements have dramatically changed in the course of the spread of COVID-19 global pandemic in the past weeks. Actions of governments have become unpredictable and Central Banks aim to fight expected bankruptcies and rising unemployment.
This all causes reduction of liquidity from market participants and ongoing increased daily volatility.

These are the reasons for Dukascopy to reduce leverage for commodities, indexes and precious metals to 1:30. The leverage policy for other trading instruments remains unchanged.
The change will come in force as of today at 18:00 GMT (time of usual over-the weekend leverage reduction) and stay in force until further notice.
