$$\frac{1}{(1+r_{02})^2} = E\left(\frac{1}{1+r_{12}}\right)\frac{1}{1+r_{01}}$$ Indeed, in the pricing measure, the distribution of $r_{12}$ has to be such that this relation holds. If you look at ...

There is no conflict here. In the identity, \begin{align*} \frac{1}{(1+r_{02})^2} = E\left(\frac{1}{1+r_{12}}\right)\frac{1}{1+r_{01}}, \end{align*} the expectation is under the year-1 forward measure....

### Reliable weekend forex source that can act as credible data for Monday APAC morning forex trade

Well it depends on what pairs you want data for. But in general, no. Even if you can see intraday data in those 'dead' times, the quotes can be very stale (hours old).

### Pricing IRS: bootstrapping zero rate (spot rate) from the swap curve

### Calculating theoretical spot rates of treasury bonds beginning with treasury bills

The question really is what is the discount factor for a payment in one year assuming semiannual compounding? Because then your present value is simply 1.75 times this discount factor. If you have $k$...

### Units of measurement for Minimum Variance Hedge Ratio

Since SD in this case is usually the 1-day difference of log prices (i.e. 1-day returns) and corr is a dimensionless number, you shouldn't have to keep the units the same. After all that's how you're ...

### Calculating spot rates from forward rates

If you want to calculate the forward rate given semi-annual compounding then the answer should be: F(0,t_a,t_b)=\Bigg(\sqrt[2*(t_b-t_a)]{\frac{(1 + \frac{r_b}{2})^{2*t_b}}{(1 + \...

Forward Rate = $\frac {(1+(0.5) 2\%)^{2 * 2}} {(1+(0.5) 1\%)^{2 *1}} -1$ The above works fine when the day count convention is 30/360. General formula - $F(t,t+1,t+2)= \frac {P(t,t+1) - P(t,t+2)} {... • 948 1 vote Accepted ### Generalization of Macaulay/modified duration under non-parallel shift of spot curve When you want to consider arbitrary (i.e. non parallel) movements of the yield curve, the duration ( a scalar) is replaced by a vector of 'key rate durations' one for each maturity you wish to ... • 9,107 1 vote Accepted ### Why do par-yield shifts grow faster across the curve than spot-rate shifts when looking at key-rates? Intuitively, this is the "coupon effect" at work – when the yield curve is upward sloping, lower coupon bonds have higher yield and their yields move up more when the overall curve shifts up (all else ... • 10.9k 1 vote Accepted ### Spot-Forward Relationship - Proof Let's go for a detailed and rigorous proof.
