You&#039;re not understanding the basics and you think gold &amp; silver is not an asset. Are you really suggesting that some banks do not hold gold &amp; silver as an asset? I explained it as simply as possible, but here&#039;s a description: Banks make money from money, lending it, investing it, and so on. If the bank is&nbsp; running low on cash reserves for their needs, they can lease out gold/silver to boost their cash reserves. The negative rate is because demand for borrowing is low, so if they can make 5% lending money out and pay 1.3% to get that cash by leasing gold/silver, it&#039;s still a win if they don&#039;t expect to make money otherwise from the gold/silver.
