Question

What difference does it make in Problem 30.4 if the swap rate is observed in 5 years, but the exchange of payments takes place in (a) 6 years, and (b) 7 years? Assume that the volatilities of all forward rates are $20 \%$. Assume also that the forward swap rate for the period between years 5 and 7 has a correlation of 0.8 with the forward interest rate between years 5 and 6 and a correlation of 0.95 with the forward interest rate between years 5 and 7 .

Step 1

4, we are given that the swap rate is observed in 5 years. This means that at the 5-year mark, we can observe the current swap rate for the period between years 5 and 7. (a) If the exchange of payments takes place in 6 years, this means that the actual swap  Show more…
