While margins have reverted to normal, please bear in mind that there will a second round of voting for the French Presidential election on Sunday, 7 May 2017. During this interim period, we would advise our clients to monitor their positions closely, ensuring adequate levels of collateral whilst the event plays out. Blackwell Global will continue to monitor market volatility and liquidity and will reassess the margin requirements to make any necessary adjustments thereafter.
