Gold Lease Rate

This page is created to monitor the "Gold Lease Rate".

The gold interest rate earned on fiat gold is commonly referred as the gold “lease” rate.

It is calculated as:
Gold Lease Rate = Libor Rate - Gold Forward Rate.

The LBMA presents the data every day at this link.


Whenever the gold lease rate tops out (spikes upwards), the gold price will hit a bottom as central banks demand the gold back from the bullion banks at higher gold lease rates. So it is a bullish sign to have high gold lease rates. It means that the GOFO rate is very low, which indicates backwardation in gold.
