Hi Chris, any news about the zero coupon inflation
swap pricing engine ? Looking at the latest
version on SVN repository, I’ve seen that it’s still present the “old”
version, which is correct, in my opinion,
for a spot trade only (i.e. for an already started trade will do wrong results). I know that you’ve been busy due to
the good job on seasonality effects, but because you are going
towards version 1.0, I’d like to know how you plan to change/add the new feature or, why not, what
I’m missing about the QuantLib architecture. Thanks in advance, Mirko ________________________________________________ Quantitative

Hi Mirko, general ZC and YY swaps are scheduled for the next couple of weeks so they get in for v1.0. (You are correct - current ones are spot-only for curve building.)

Hi Mirko, take a look in the trunk. Inflation swaps (now) make use of inflation indexes so that their fixings are precise. This also holds for forecast fixings. Thus dedicated pricers are no longer required, the ordinary (nominal) discounting swap engine works. I.e. to price an inflation swap you link an inflation term structure to the inflaton index used by the coupons in your swap, and then apply the engine. This mimics the usual two-stage proceedure required by w.r.t. coupons (coupon pricer then pricing engine).
