ABOUT THE LONDON BULLION MARKET
GOFO
What is GOFO?
GOFO stands for Gold Forward Offered Rate. These are rates at which contributors are prepared to lend gold on a swap against US dollars. Quotes are made for 1-, 2-, 3-, 6- and 12-month periods.
Who provides the rates?
The contributors are the Market Making Members of the LBMA: The Bank of Nova Scotia–ScotiaMocatta, Barclays Bank Plc, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank USA London Branch, J Aron & Co (UK), JP Morgan Chase Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Société Générale and UBS AG.
When are the rates quoted?
The means are set at 11 am London time. These are the rates we show on the LBMA website, along with the means for LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rates) for US dollars for the same time periods as GOFO. We subtract GOFO from the corresponding values of LIBOR to show derived gold lease rates.
How are the GOFO means established?
At 10.30 am London time, the Reuters page is cleared of all rates. Contributors then enter their rates for all time periods. A minimum of six contributors must enter rates in order for the means to be calculated. At 11.00 am, the mean is established for each maturity by discarding the highest and lowest quotations in each period and averaging the remaining rates.
What are some uses for GOFO means in the market?
They provide a basis for some finance and loan agreements as well as for the settlement of gold Interest Rate Swaps and Forward Rate Agreements.
