China Margin Trading New Accounts Hit 108,900 in September, Up 1.4% MoM
AI take
The year-on-year collapse in new margin accounts alongside a rising cumulative total suggests leverage demand is cooling even as the existing base expands, a divergence worth noting. The sharper signal is the falling collateral ratio: less buffer against margin calls, which matters more than the headline account count for market stability. Whether the ratio keeps sliding is the open question.
