QD Laser plunges as TSE implements temporary margin trading restrictions
Shares of QD Laser,Inc. <6613> fell sharply after the Tokyo Stock Exchange announced temporary measures to raise the margin requirement for new short and long positions to 50% or more, including at least 20% in cash, effective May 27. Japan Securities Finance Co., Ltd. also announced on May 26 that it would increase the collateral ratio for stock lending in proprietary and clearing-intermediary trading to 50%, including 20% in cash, starting May 27. The credit tightening sparked concerns that the increased financial burden on margin transactions would slow capital inflows from retail investors.
