OANDA Japan to change FX margin rates due to current market conditions
OANDA Japan Inc, a subsidiary of online broker OANDA Corporation, today announced upcoming changes to FX margin rates.
The brokerage explained that, in light of the current market conditions, it has decided to change the FX margin rates for corporate accounts on its Tokyo and NY servers, effective from the start of trading on May 4, 2026 (Monday).
The affected currency pairs are listed here.
With this change, the maximum leverage for corporate accounts will be 25x. There will be no changes to the leverage for stock index CFDs and commodity CFDs.
Customers holding positions in the affected currency pairs may experience a margin maintenance ratio falling below 100% and triggering a stop-loss if they continue to hold these positions after the close of trading on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
OANDA Japan recommends reducing such positions in advance or ensuring sufficient funds in your account.
