Are margin requirements going to be raised for trading Crude Futures?

  1. I'm sure the commercials are quaking in their boots, now the Exxon traders might only be able to buy 9500 CL's at the market instead of 10k next time there's a "pipeline incident"

    My guess is ultra short-term this might just force out a few small specs who were net short and the most likely candidates for overleveraging - the guys paying a handle above the 230pm close today weren't building long positions.
