How XAUUSD Swap Is Calculated
Overnight positions earn or pay interest based on the interest differential of the underlying currencies/instrument plus the broker's markup.
- Swap applies only to positions held past server rollover (usually 21:00–22:00 GMT).
- Swap-free (Islamic) accounts exist at most brokers — often with a fixed admin fee instead.
- Total overnight cost scales with lot size and number of nights held.
