Gunvor Тимченко получил маржинколл на газе в размере $1 млрд баксов

Gunvor, one of the world’s biggest independent energy traders, cut trading positions after the gas price spike triggered margin calls from brokers and exchanges.

The Geneva-based company reduced its exposure as wholesale gas prices surged over the past couple of months because of concerns about tight supplies ahead of the winter, said people with knowledge of the situation.

The company had received about $1bn of margin calls — demands for extra cash to cover its position, the people said. All have been paid, they added, and the company has more than $3bn of excess liquidity to cover its remaining exposure.
