My bad...I thought you were talking about the margin rates on individual stock futures contracts. Back in May, CME raised margin requirements for...
The CME Group manages the NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT, and CME...commodity markets. But other than that, you're spot-on. :rolleyes:
One of the reasons speculators have been drawn to commodities has been the spectre of Quantitative Easing 1/2 (QE1/QE2). The FED says that QE3 is...
