Holding costs
At the end of each day (5pm New York time), open CFD trading positions may be subject to a charge called a holding cost. The holding cost can be positive or negative depending on whether you are long or short. Forward contracts on indices, forex, commodities and treasuries are not subject to holding costs. Holding costs for indices are based on the underlying risk-free or interbank rate of the index (see table): plus 0.0082% on buy positions and minus 0.0082% on sell positions. For share CFDs, holding costs are based on the underlying risk-free or interbank rate for the currency of the relevant share (see table) plus 0.0082% on buy positions and minus 0.0082% on sell positions. FX holding costs are based on the tom-next (tomorrow to next day) rate in the underlying market for the currency pair. Holding rates for cash commodities and treasuries are based on the inferred holding costs built into the underlying futures contracts, from which the prices of our cash commodity and treasury products are derived. Holdings costs for share baskets, forex indices and commodity indices are calculated via a weighted sum of the constituents' holding cost rates, plus CMC's fee on buy positions or minus CMC's fee on sell positions.
