A-share is strong, and financing customers are enthusiastic about entering the market, but this time, securities firms did not engage in a "price war", instead there is a situation of tight margin trading quotas. On January 15th, there were reports that some securities firms had tight margin trading quotas. Several large securities firms were contacted, and relevant persons all stated that the current margin trading funds are still sufficient. "It is said that a few securities firms have used up their margin trading quotas, which may be related to the financial liquidity of the securities firms themselves." If the securities firms' margin trading quotas are insufficient, will it have an impact on individual investors' trading? "At the moment, there is no such situation, but if margin trading of individual stocks is restricted by the exchange, it may affect specific stocks. Because of the quotas, they might not be able to get money temporarily, but this situation has not happened yet," said the manager of a small and medium-sized securities firm's business department in Beijing.
