2026-07-16 08:301263

To manage potential market volatility during the release of key economic data next week and maintain a stable trading environment, Bitget will temporarily adjust the leverage for certain CFD products around the relevant data releases. The details are as follows:

1. Adjustment schedule and related data

Date	Time (GMT+3)	Data release	Affected instruments
July 21, 2026 (Tuesday)	3:15 PM	U.S. ADP weekly employment change	Forex, gold, silver, indices, commodities
July 22, 2026 (Wednesday)	5:30 PM	U.S. EIA crude oil inventories	Oil
July 23, 2026 (Thursday)	3:30 PM	U.S. initial jobless claims	Forex, gold, silver, indices, commodities
July 25, 2026 (Saturday)	4:45 PM	U.S. S&P global manufacturing PMI / services PMI	Forex, gold, silver, indices, commodities

2. Adjustment rules

From 15 minutes before each data release until 5 minutes after the release, the leverage for the affected instruments will be temporarily adjusted as follows:

Instrument	Temporary leverage
Forex	1:200
Oil	1:100
Gold	1:100
Silver	1:50
Indices	1:100
Commodities	1:5

3. Notes

The leverage limit is a regular mechanism that takes effect automatically on every trading day. During a special period, when any position change occurs in the account, including opening/closing positions and modifying take-profit/stop-loss orders, the required margin for all positions will be recalculated based on the special-period leverage limits and margin ratios. Ensure your account has sufficient margin before each special period. No further notice will be issued by Bitget CFD.

Leverage will automatically return to its original level after the adjustment period ends. Assess your position risk in advance and manage your positions accordingly.

If you have any questions, contact customer service.
