Summary:
The Fed's rate decision is set for Oct 29, 2025, 21:00 MT. EBC will cut max leverage to 1:200 for new trades from 20:30–21:05 MT.
The U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate decision will be announced on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 21:00 MT time. To prudently manage risks during this major market announcement, our company will implement temporary margin adjustments for new positions. The details are as follows:
Temporary Margin Adjustment Period:
October 29, 20:30 – 21:05 (MT time)
Adjustment Details:
During the specified period, the maximum leverage for new positions will be adjusted to 1:200.
Scope of Application:
This adjustment applies only to new positions opened during the above period; positions opened outside of this period will not be affected. If pending orders are triggered during this period, the resulting positions will be executed under the temporary leverage rules (where applicable, in accordance with our company's policies).
For further details, please refer to:
Important Notice: Margin Adjustments before and after Major Market Announcements
Risk Warning:
If you hold both long and short positions in the same affected products and open new positions during the adjustment period, the temporary margin requirement may increase your total margin usage and heighten the risk of stop-out.
Please carefully evaluate your free margin and position size in advance, and plan your trading activities prudently.
