Margins, also known as Performance Bonds, are deposits required to ensure that a clearing member can cover potential losses with his or her trading positions. Margins/performance bonds help to ensure that clearing members can meet their obligations to their customers and to CME Clearing. Performance bonds/margins vary according to product and market volatility.
