AI Summary of Article 357 Positions in commodities

Each position must be articulated in standard measurement units, with spot prices reported in the designated currency. Gold positions incur foreign-exchange risk, necessitating adherence to specific risk calculation chapters.

Additionally, positions in related commodities or deliverable sub-categories may be aggregated for assessment, providing they exhibit a strong correlation over a designated timeframe.
