Shanghai Gold Exchange pushes more Chinese banks to end retail leverage trading

The Shanghai Gold Exchange has instructed at least a dozen Chinese banks to stop offering retail leverage trading in precious metals. This means that everyday investors will no longer be able to speculate on gold and silver contracts using margin deposits without owning the physical metal. The move is likely a response to sharp swings in international gold prices, which have made the market more volatile.

Why it matters

Chinese banks are reducing retail leveraged precious-metals trading, which could decrease market participation. This reduction may lead to lower trading volumes and less market volatility.
