Example: Select on the trading platform Loco London Gold trading and open 1 lot, with opening price is US$1300/oz., and one overnight, and LLG interest rate of -1.25% on that day.
The calculation is: opening price US$1,300/oz. x contract unit 100 oz. x USD exchange rate 7.8 x interest rate -1.25% x number of contracts 1 lot ÷ 360days = HKD-35.18
