AI Summary of Article 360 Simplified approach

The institution's own funds requirement for commodities risk is determined by calculating the sum of two components for each commodity. The first component is 15% of the net position—whether long or short—multiplied by the current spot price. The second component encompasses 3% of the total gross position, calculated as the sum of long and short positions, also multiplied by the spot price.

Subsequently, the overall own funds requirement for commodities risk is derived by aggregating the individual requirements for each commodity as outlined above. This systematic approach ensures robust risk assessment and compliance with regulatory standards.
