Wall Street Margin Rules May Ease If Prices Fall
Wall Street analyst R L Weissman of W E Huton & Co says margin requirements could be reduced if stock prices deteriorate or credit for carrying securities declines. He notes the last increase to 70 percent took effect April 25, 1958, and a 1953 cut to 50 percent followed. He adds Fed action would depend on credit use and money-market conditions.
