Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: Apart from Switzerland acting as an intermediary, communication channels between Iran and the US special envoy remain open.On January 12th, analysts at Metzler Asset Management noted in a report that domestic politics in Japan are once again putting pressure on the yen. Sources indicate that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is considering dissolving the House of Representatives, which could trigger a new general election in February. Analysts stated that although the Prime Ministers Liberal Democratic Party currently holds slightly less seats in the House than the absolute majority needed, polls suggest it may win more seats in the new election. "Market participants may worry that this will lead the government to take further measures to curb prices, thereby reducing the likelihood of a Bank of Japan interest rate hike, and thus putting downward pressure on the yen."On January 12th, the Hang Seng Index opened more than 100 points higher and trended upward throughout the day.

what is margin and margin ratio?

LEO

Each time you open a new position, a certain percentage of the balance of your account will be withheld as the initial margin for the opening of the new position. The price of the currency pair, your trading volume, and your margin dictate the margin level you need to reserve for each trade. The amount of the margin is usually indicated in the base currency.

Maintenance margin is the minimum margin amount required to maintain the account when you hold the position. 

The margin ratio is equal to the available margin divided by the account equity, and the available margin is the equity minus the margin (used margin) required to establish an existing position.

In top1,If the  margin ratio is less than 50%, the held position will be automatically closed.


Suppose you open a 200:1 leverage or 0.5% margin account.
If you open a mini-lot position with you margin, you don't have to use the full $10,000; you only need to provide an initial margin of $50 ($10,000 × 0.5%=$50).
