With regards to the TOCOM Platinum market, considering that the final contract prices for all contract months (excluding contract months with no applicable price limit) have reached the price limit in the same direction for two consecutive business days, on 14 and 15 February, and the price limit was also reached temporarily on 18 February, since volatility has sharply increased in comparison to last week, the Committee has decided to impose Extraordinary Clearing Margin deposits for Platinum to face this rise in market risk.
