Swap Valuation. The date is January 3, 2012 and you just returned to work from a thorough and exhausting celebration of the New Year. As a junior clerk on the USD fixed- income derivative desk your first transaction of the year involves a 5Y fixed-for-floating swap with yearly payments on $100m notional. Bloomberg provides you with the following data: Payment Dates (years) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 T-Strip Prices P (0,T) 95.39 90.63 85.78 80.93 76.11 (a) In terms of cash-replication, the above 5Y plain vanilla swap corresponds to holding what positions in what type of instruments? (b) Calculate the 5Y swap rate for an annual fixed-for-floating USD swap. What is an appropriate bid-ask spread assuming that the Bloomberg data are midpoints? (c) You ponder various strategies to hedge the resulting interest-rate exposure. Describe two different strategies which you could use to hedge the transaction. (d) Your company has sold a 6Y plain-vanilla swap on 1Y LIBOR precisely one year ago for a swap rate of 7.15%; as a consequence, you receive fixed and pay floating. What value should your accounting system attribute to the swap today (notional principal: $40m)? Arbitrage in the Government Bond Market. On the first day of your summer internship on the UST desk at Last Nationalized Bank Corp. (LNBC; motto: "Last is First") your senior trader asks you to research trading opportunities pointing you to the attached Bloomberg screens (see Exhibit 2 of the Midterm Data). (a) Consider the 12% 08/14, which is callable at par on 08/15/09 and every coupon date thereafter until it matures on 08/15/14, (bond #26 in Exhibit 2A) and the 63% and 3% which both mature in 02/10 (bond #29 and #30 in Exhibit 2B). Is the callable trading above or below a synthetic bond with the same coupon, maturing 02/15/107 (b) Is there an arbitrage opportunity? Why or why not? Be precise. (c) How can it be that arbitrage opportunities persist in deep and liquid markets such as the US Treasuries one? (d) How would you go about pricing the call option? Explain. <HELP> for explanation. yield calculations are done to call. 4 TO 1434 1/12 2) 4²8 2/12 34% 2/12 4 43 5 43 0 4² 7) 4% 7 YEAR NOTE PRICES 108-16 /17+ 2.45 + 14 23) 4 109-05 /07+ 2.42 14+ 2413¹ 108-01+/02+ 2.49 + 14+ 25) 434 2.53 14+ 2012 2.56+15+27) 4¹ 2.58+ 15 2011 2.62 + 16 29 4¹ 2.65+15+ 3011¹4 2.60+ 16+30) 4 2.68 +15+ 2.69 + 16 2.72 +16 2.71 15 2.74 15 2.75 + 16 2.76 + 16+ 3/12 4/12 84% 9) 4% 10 4¹ 8/12 10) 4¹4 9/12 12 3% 10/12 13 4 11/12 14 3 11/12 5/12 6/12 7/12 8/12 15) 3 10 27 17 WI 5 YR 84% 947 12/12 1/13 10 4 18 3% 2/13 5/13 19) 35 2012 21) 424 8/13* 8/13 22 44 11/13 Exhibit 2.A: Callable UST Securities 4/09 5/09 5/09 5/09 5/09 107-17+ /19+ 107-19+ /20 108-20+ /21+ <HELP> for explanation. 1 TO 2 1) 43 2/09 7) 25 3/09 3) 4/1/2 3/09 4) 3% 4/09 94/¹/2 53 71) 37 6/09 11 4% 6/09 17) 3% 7/09 10 45 7/09 14 6 8/09 15) 3¹ 8/09 10 4 8/09 17) 4 8/09 109-04+ /05+ 108-04+ /06 107-10+ /14 106-02+ /03 106-21 /21+ 105-00 /01+ 105-20+ /21+ 102-25 /26 103-29 /30 100-16+ /17 2.78 /77 105-02 /03+ 103-26 /27+ 104-15+ /16 106-26 /27+ 106-25+/27 2.14 + 01 2.88 + 19 2.94 + 19+ Australio 61 2 9777 8600 Brazil 5511 3040 4500 Europe 44 20 7330 7500 Germany 49 69 9204 1210 Hong Kong 852 2977 6000 Japon 01 3 3201 0900 Singapore 55 6212 1000 U.S. 1 212 318 2000 Copyright 2000 Bloomberg Finance L.P.
