Use

In this IMG activity, you define rate types, translation rations, and yield curves for calculating forward exchange rates.

  • Exchange rate type

    In this activity, you define exchange rate types. These enable you to enter exchange rates for different purposes on the same date in the system. For example, you could define exchange rate types for middle rates, for bid, middle and ask rates, or for middle rates with rate spreads.

  • Currency translation ratios

    In this activity, you enter the translation ratio for each combination of exchange rate and currency pair. You can also specify whether an alternative exchange rate type should be used for a given currency pair.

  • Yield curve types

    In this activity, you define yield curve types for calculating forward exchange rates. A yield curve type contains yield curve structures for various currencies.

Requirements

You have defined at least one market data area in the IMG activity Create Market Data Area.

    2. To Currency
    3. Date as of which the entry us valid (format YYYYMMDD)

    6. Alternative Exchange Rate Type
  6. Select an exchange rate type, and switch to the Yield Curves for Forward Exchange Rates view by selecting the folder icon of the same name in the dialog structure on the left.
  7. If you have already created yield curves for forward exchange rates, the system will display a list of these. If you want to define more yield curves, choose New Entries. Define the yield curves for the exchange rate type you selected:
    1. Bid/Middle/Ask indicator
    2. Yield Curve Type for Forward Exchange Rates
  8. Save your entries.
