If the pattern that gold followed in the wake of the financial crisis is repeated (and it’s echoing remarkably so far) it will drop 45% from the last record high. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor follows up on the developments so far. gold

The new week has started off with an exceptional rise in volatility with FX markets in particular suffering an extreme jump on the back of the extreme drop from GBPUSD and EURUSD. While seasonality sets a troubling tone, the range of key technical levels and underlying fears around recession mark a converging storm.

Question
Guest Sissyfuss
Hi appreciate if I buy an option outright, IG requires the entire premium cost as Margin.
if I buy a Put but then sell a lower strike Put (exact same expiry) does IG return any premium to me?
does IG only ask for the net premium (which would be logical as that is maximum loss to me)
for example 2900 spx puts March cost 90 say, so margin appears to be 90.
if I sell the 2800 spx puts March for cost 40, does IG still need 90 as margin, rather than 50 (my max loss).
appreciate this only holds if I pair the two trades and they remain paired, so maybe IG has a (sensible) formula for adjusting margin?
