Movement Alert|iShares Silver ETF Falls 5.05% in Regular Trading, Banks Raise Margin Requirements as Institutions Turn Bearish

Market Focus
Yesterday

On June 5, iShares Silver ETF (SLV) declined 5.05% in regular trading, trading at $62.67/share, with trading volume of approximately $1.021 billion.

On the news front, multiple major state-owned banks announced that effective from today's closing settlement, the margin ratio for individual client gold and silver deferred contracts would be raised from 100% to 120%. This move significantly increases capital occupancy costs for traders and compresses trading leverage, potentially triggering forced liquidations among existing position holders or discouraging new position openings, thereby exerting direct downward pressure on silver prices. The margin hike coincides with growing institutional bearish expectations on silver, amplifying selling momentum in the session.
