The British pound yield curve on February 9, 2005. This curve is unusual (inverted) in that long-term rates are lower than short-term ones. Yield curves are usually upward sloping asymptotically: the longer the maturity, the higher the yield, with diminishing marginal increases (that is, as one moves to the right, the curve flattens out).
The floating leg of a constant maturity swap fixes against a point on the swap curve on a periodic basis. A constant maturity swap is an interest rate swap where the interest rate on one leg is reset periodically, but with reference to a market swap rate rather than LIBOR. The other leg of the swap is generally LIBOR, but may be a fixed rate or ...
Prevailing economic conditions, the shape of the yield curve, and the volatility of interest rates. upsloping yield curve—caps will be more expensive than floors. the steeper is the slope of the yield curve, ceteris paribus, the greater are the cap premiums. floor premiums reveal the opposite relationship.

The real use of the model is to value somewhat more exotic derivatives such as bermudan swaptions on a lattice, or other derivatives in a multi-currency context such as Quanto Constant Maturity Swaps, as explained for example in Brigo and Mercurio (2001).
Suppose there is constant risk-free interest rate r and the futures price F(t) of a particular underlying is log-normal with constant volatility σ. Then the Black formula states the price for a European call option of maturity T on a futures contract with strike price K and delivery date T' (with ′) is
Specifically, one assumes that the interest rate is constant across the life of the bond and that changes in interest rates occur evenly. Using these assumptions, duration can be formulated as the first derivative of the price function of the bond with respect to the interest rate in question. Then the convexity would be the second derivative ...
To extract the forward rate, we need the zero-coupon yield curve.. We are trying to find the future interest rate , for time period (,), and expressed in years, given the rate for time period (,) and rate for time period (,).
