Trump’s Speech

Expectation of market volatility ahead of President Trump’s speech on Tuesday, February 28.

In a speech that will be watched by millions of viewers in the United States and around the world, the president must speak of his presidency and address pressing issues such as his health plans, the tax system, the military and his goals for his administration.

President Trump’s speech and remarks are expected to cause a lot of volatility in the financial markets. This can lead to wider spreads across various trading instruments, while any sudden movements in the market can trigger Stop-Outs. For this reason, we recommend that you monitor any open positions that you may have and ensure that you have sufficient margin on your trading account (s) to protect your positions.

Also note that margin requirements on various instruments are subject to change as a result of market volatility.
