Constructing Non-Deliverable Forward Curves from FX Swap Quotes
Summary
The document raises practical questions about building a forward curve for non-deliverable forwards when swap points and outright forward quotes are available. It asks whether curve construction should use swap points or outright forwards, how to derive rates for other tenors from swap points, and where to find further study material. The response points to the implied interest rate calculation from an FX swap, suggesting the relationship between swap quotes and interest rates as the relevant starting point.
No actual construction procedure, interpolation choice, formula, worked example, or comparison of quote inputs is included. As a result, the document offers only a pointer rather than enough detail to implement or assess a curve-building method. It does not specify currencies, market conventions, collateral assumptions, or tenor treatment, all of which can affect the interpretation of NDF and swap quotes. Readers would need the referenced implied-rate material and market-specific conventions before drawing conclusions or constructing a usable curve.
Key ideas
- The question concerns constructing a non-deliverable forward curve from swap points or outright forward quotes.
- The response points to implied interest rate calculations from FX swaps as relevant background.
- The document does not provide a formula, interpolation method, or worked curve construction example.
- Currency conventions and market assumptions are unspecified and would be needed for implementation.
