Price discovery from cross-currency and FX swaps: a structural analysis, October 2008

چکیده
This paper investigates the relative role of price discovery between two long-term swap contracts that exchange U.S. dollars for Japanese yen – the cross-currency basis swap and the foreign exchange (FX) swap – using structural state space models. Our main findings are that: (i) the currency swap market plays a much more dominant role in price discovery than the FX swap market; and (ii) FX swap prices tend to under react to changes in the efficient price, while cross-currency swap prices react almost entirely to them.

GPU pricing of exotic cross-currency interest rate derivatives with a foreign exchange volatility skew model
We present a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) parallelization of the computation of the price of exotic cross-currency interest rate derivatives via a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) approach. In particular, we focus on the GPU-based parallel pricing of long-dated foreign exchange (FX) interest rate hybrids, namely Power Reverse Dual Currency (PRDC) swaps with Bermudan cancelable features. We...

متن کاملAn Analysis of ‘Triangle Ordering’ in Foreign Exchange Market (Forex): Simultaneous Ordering of Three Major Currency Pairs
With considering a ‘triangle of three major currency pairs’, there is a tiny difference between multiplication of exchange rate for the first two currency pairs and the third. To discover whether this little difference can lead to a neutral arbitrage or not, I took portfolios of 35 baskets of three major currency pairs(combinations of all 7 major currencies). There are eight approaches (differe...
متن کاملInevitability of Losing Most Traders in the Foreign Exchange Market: New Evidence
The foreign exchange market (FX market) accounts for 40% of the total volume of the worldâs e-commerce by its own. Based on statistics, sometimes up to 90 per cent of the traders lose their total capital in this market just within six months to one year and leave this market. The probability of loss in the FX market can be estimated by probability theory. The present paper intends to demonst...
