### Why is CSA currency OIS rate used in discounting instead of local currency OIS?

The problem here is that your market is not arbitrage-free: JPY OIS = 10% per day, flat USD OIS = 0% per day, flat USDJPY spot = 100 USDJPY Forward for tomorrow = 100 A quick sense check ...

### Volatility adjustment for SOFR/OIS caplet referencing LIBOR vol

I will refer to Risk-Free Rates (RFR) for greater generality, instead of OIS or SOFR. There are two dimensions to your question, I will treat them separately. How to adjust a LIBOR vol surface to ...

### What is Dual Curve Bootstrapping? And how to do it, with an example?

A multi-curve means that you observe the discounting instruments (such as fed funds) and projection (libor, swap curve) and solve for all of them simultaneously; as opposed to bootstrapping separately ...

### Introduction to Multiple Curve construction

I've always enjoyed OpenGamma's white paper: MULTIPLE CURVE CONSTRUCTION. It's a solid starting point from an implementation perspective. Andersen & Piterbarg's "Interest Rate Modeling" (Volume 1)...

### Why is CSA currency OIS rate used in discounting instead of local currency OIS?

you have a missing element in your data - you need to take into account xccy basis. when you do so, then you would get the same valuation in both methods. the key is to remember that since your ...

### Why is CSA currency OIS rate used in discounting instead of local currency OIS?

To expand on Marcino's correct appraisal of the matter: arbitrage was introduced with the 4 pieces of market data. i.e. JPY OIS = 10% per day, flat USD OIS = 0% per day, flat USDJPY spot = 100 ...

### Lattice pricing of derivatives under multi curve framework (OIS and LIBOR)

### Curve building dates overlapping impact on discount factor

There is no overlapping, the first instrument is tied to the LIBOR rate starting at $25/10/2019$, the second one is tied to the LIBOR Rate at $27/04/2020$. For the sake of clarity, let assume that ...

### Building a consistant Forward curve in the multicurve framework

One possible solution is to build "synthetic" short term 6M IBOR deposits by extrapolating for $T < 6\text{M}$ from the 6M IBOR deposit and 1x7, 2x8, etc. 6M IBOR FRAs as I have seen done in ...

### Curve building dates overlapping impact on discount factor

Your rates do not overlap. You have a 6M (185/360) rate of 5%. And a forward rate agreement where the 5.2% rate starts at the end of your initial contract (4/27/20) for a period of 6M (183/360). ...

### How to construct a GBP FVA curve from a USD FVA curve

There are two aspects to consider here. Aspect 1 is funding the notional of the Xccy swap and the coupons (strictly speaking this is not FVA). Aspect 2 is funding the MtM of the swap throughout the ...

### Discounting in multicurve environment

OIS rates, and the OIS fixing, reflect unsecured lending on an overnight basis. OIS rates compounded for 1Y reflect unsecured lending for a 1Y period via rolling overnight loans for a 1 year period. ...
