Other fees on Metals
A storage cost of 0.1% per year (0.1%/360 per day) applies when you hold long positions overnight on spot metals.
Borrow fees apply when you hold short positions overnight on spot metals.
The applicable interest rate is the USD benchmark rate plus the mark-up indicated below.
| Tier I | Tier II | Tier III | |
|---|---|---|---|
| XAUUSD, XAGUSD | 0 - 1,000,000 USD BM + 1 % |
1,000,001 - 10,000,000 USD BM + 0.5 % |
>10,000,000 USD BM + 0.3 % |
Example
- Long position: 100 XAUUSD at $2000.
=> Storage fee = 2000 * 100 * 0.1% / 360 = $0.56 per day - Short position: -100 XAUUSD at $2,000, considering a USD benchmark rate at 5.33%.
=> Borrow fees = 2,000 x 100 x (5.33 + 1)% / 360 = $35.17 per day
