How much should I ask for in an internship?

Have an interview next week at a boutique commodities trading firm. They did not ask for interns. Basically I was cold emailing them and the boss liked my resume and said he was willing to talk to me.

He could be asking for how much I want to be paid. Truth be told in this market climate, I am willing to work for free (don't wish to be jobless in the summer), gain some commodities trading experience and move on to the big boys after graduation, but I don't want to short change myself.

I was thinking of giving a figure that is not too excessive but not too low, and then I am willing to negotiate downwards. Anyone can advise or any benchmarks to share for internships? Thanks.
