Money situation triggers market reaction and margins shift
The market opened weak as brokers' margins were raised to 30 percent, then recovered before closing lower. Peace stocks like Mexican Petroleum and Studebaker led gains after the opening dip, while overall volume fell to around 650,000 shares. Analysts debated whether gains came from mechanics or peace prospects, and warned that higher margins could curb credit and slow trading.
