  • "...starting from the last trading day of February 2026, the hedging transaction position limits for all silver contracts that have not obtained hedging transaction position limits for the near-delivery month will be temporarily adjusted to 0 lots for both buy and sell hedging transactions in the near-delivery month (the month preceding the delivery month and the delivery month itself)."
