Abstract

AbstractInterest rate derivatives belong to the most actively traded derivative instruments both on the OTC and on the organized exchange markets. In this chapter, we are going to explain how to build zero coupon curves given various interest rate quotations and how to use the curves to value the basic interest rate derivative contracts. We focus on the trading mechanics, hedging, and valuation of the plain vanilla derivatives such as forward rate agreements (FRA), short-term, and (STIR) long-term interest rate (LTIR) futures, interest rate swaps (IRS), and cross-currency swaps (CCS).
