For Stage II securities, the exchange sets the margin rate at 100 percent or the existing margin, whichever is higher. These margin requirements apply to all open positions as of September 29, 2026, and to all new positions created from September 30, 2026. This measure operates in conjunction with other prevailing surveillance measures.
