Margin Breaches
This visualization shows data on margin breaches, which happen when intraday price movements cause the actual marked-to-market exposure in the account of a clearinghouse member to exceed the initial margin held against that member account. For each clearinghouse in this visualization, the amount shown represents the peak exposure in each clearing service over the previous 12 months, as reported in field 6.5.4 of the quarterly public quantitative disclosures. Peak exposure represents the maximum margin breach in any single member account over that time period.
