Current initial margin requirement (as of December 31, 2025): $32,500 per COMEX silver futures contract (5,000 oz).
This follows the second hike announced on December 30, 2025 (effective after close on December 31 via Advisory 25-399), which increased it by an additional ~30% in response to ongoing volatility.
Before the first recent hike (announced December 26, 2025, effective December 29): $22,000 per contract.

The first hike (Advisory 25-393) raised it from $22,000 to $25,000.
Note: Earlier in December (effective ~December 12-15), margins had been raised from ~$20,000 to $22,000, but the "first hike" in the late-December context refers to the jump to $25,000 amid the extreme year-end surge.

China (Shanghai/Physical Market): ~$80 per oz (recent SGE spot benchmarks and dealer quotes amid surges; some reports hit $90–$100 due to shortages, but lowest stable quote is around $80 for physical delivery).
Australia (Perth Mint/Dealers): ~$81.35 per oz (e.g., Perth Mint Silver Kangaroo 1 oz coin; includes ~$10–$12 premium over spot; converted from AUD at ~0.64 USD/AUD).
Dubai (DMCC/Dealers): ~$74.80 per oz (local spot-equivalent for bullion; recent physical quotes hit $86 amid global tightness, but lowest retail is near ~$75–$80 with minimal premiums; converted from AED at ~0.272 USD/AED; UAE silver coins higher at ~$106).
