  • Raising Margin Requirements May Spike Oil Prices Higher [View article]
    "wouldn't that curtail any short term rally on short futures?"

    Of course it Would. If a speculator with 60k to put into Crude oil futures(enough to hold 1 million dollars worth of Crude off the market today) had the margin requirement for Crude Oil jump to 60% over night, they would still have only 60K to invest but could then only buy/hoard 100k worth of Crude. The title of this article is completely bizarro.
