About Limpid Markets
A powerful price discovery and negotiation service for the London and Zurich interbank precious metals financial markets.
Our Company
We are a small financial services company founded in 2013 in Jersey by Cedric Bernadac, an ex-trader with 15 years of experience in financial markets, with the purpose of enhancing trading efficiency between banks within the London precious metals markets.

DICOR Benchmark
The DICOR (Daily Interbank Contango Rate) is a proprietary benchmark for precious metals markets administered by Limpid Markets Ltd from Jersey. It provides a daily reference rate reflecting the cost of carry (contango) of precious metals, from one day to the next. Leveraging extensive live market data access covering a substantial majority of short-term swap transactions and orders, Limpid Markets maintains a uniquely informed position. DICOR calculation methodology is closely modelled after the SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), ensuring a robust and reliable benchmark.
