A year-on-year inflation-indexed swap (YYIIS) is a standard derivative product over inflation rate.The underlying is a single consumer price index (CPI).. It is called a swap because each year there is a swap of a fixed amount against a floating amount, although in practice only a one way payment is made (fixed amount – floating amount).
An inflation swap is an agreement between two counterparties to swap fixed rate payments on a notional principal amount for floating rate payments linked to an inflation index, such as the consumer price index. [1] An inflation swap is the linear form of an inflation derivative, and used to transfer inflation risk from one counterparty to another.
A zero-coupon inflation swap (ZCIS), also called a zero-coupon inflation-indexed swap (ZCIIS), is a standard derivative product whose payoff depends on the inflation rate realized over a given period of time. The underlying asset is a single consumer price index (CPI).
Typically, real rate swaps also come under this bracket, such as asset swaps of inflation-indexed bonds (government-issued inflation-indexed bonds, such as the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, UK inflation-linked gilt-edged securities (ILGs), French OATeis, Italian BTPeis, German Bundeis and Japanese JGBis are prominent examples).
Daily inflation-indexed bonds (also known as inflation-linked bonds or colloquially as linkers) are bonds where the principal is indexed to inflation or deflation on a daily basis. They are thus designed to hedge the inflation risk of a bond. [1] The first known inflation-indexed bond was issued by the Massachusetts Bay Company in 1780. [2]
