Does leverage change during news events?

Yes, during major news events, leverage is temporarily set to 1:100 for both currency pairs and gold (XAU). This leverage restriction may apply to the affected instruments during high-impact news events.

This applies only to new positions opened 15 minutes before and after the news release. 

Existing trades are not affected, and the impacted instruments depend on the specific news event (for example, USD pairs during major US economic news).

These adjustments help manage risks associated with sudden price movements and reduced market liquidity.

Leverage restrictions are subject to change without prior notice.
