The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission propose amendments to lower the minimum customer margin requirement for unhedged security futures positions from 20% to 15%. The agencies also propose revisions to the margin offset table to align with this reduction while maintaining consistency with comparable exchange-traded options. These joint proposed rules aim to harmonize margin levels with Federal Reserve Regulation T and address competitive distortions in the market.
