Members must apply a 50 percent margin rate for securities in Stage I. Members must apply a 100 percent margin rate for securities in Stage II. These margin requirements apply to all open positions as of October 30, 2026. The requirements also apply to new positions created from November 2, 2026. The maximum margin rate is 100 percent. This measure acts in conjunction with other prevailing surveillance measures. The inclusion of securities in the ASM framework results from market surveillance and does not constitute adverse action against the concerned entities.
