How is funding on forex positions calculated?
FX and spot metals funding
A tom-next rather than an interbank rate is used in the calculation of funding costs for forex and spot metals.
Tom-next is the day’s market swap rate for that pair or metal.
Example tom-next rate: -1.39/-0.39.
-0.39 would be used to calculate the funding cost on a long position.
-1.39 would be used to calculate the funding cost on a short position.
