Hi All,
I have Sample of USD Zero Yield Curve Data as follows:
Observation Date
03/08/2012
Maturity Days
0,3,4,11,35,67,96,137,227,320,411,501,591,734,1099,1466,1830,2195,2560,2
926,3293,3657,4387,5484,7311,9135,10961,
Yield

InterpolationType
Linear
Extrapolation Type

DayCount Convention
ACT365FIXED
Compunding Frequency
CONTINUOUS,
So I build a vector<QuantLib::Date> yieldMaturities, vector<Rate> yields
from the information above.
In the case of vector<QuantLib::Date> yieldMaturities, I just add the
Maturity Days to observation date.
I now build the yieldCurve as
Handle<YieldTermStructure> yieldCurve(
boost::shared_ptr<YieldTermStructure>(
new ForwardCurve(yieldMaturities,yields,
dayCountConv)));
Then pass to
boost::shared_ptr<BlackProcess> blackProcess(
new BlackProcess(underlyingH, yieldCurve,
flatVolTS));
as I am cant determine what the zero rate will be for the exercise date
of the option.
Now given this option is on a commodity forward, I want to discount from
payment date.
Hence have
DiscountFactor expiryDiscount =
blackProcess->riskFreeRate()->discount(europeanExercise->lastDate());
DiscountFactor paymentDiscount =
blackProcess->riskFreeRate()->discount(paymentDate);
Real forwardValue = europeanOption.NPV()/expiryDiscount;
Real presentValue = forwardValue * paymentDiscount;
My PV is slightly off the PV from another system.
The market data is the same in both systems, except for the difference
in discount factors.
The paymentDiscount factor in Quantlib is 0.9990450902703203, whilst
that from the other system is 0.9987391782033116, hence diff in PV.
I am wondering whether my yieldCurve of Zeros has been constructed
properly.
Also its seems YieldTermStructure takes in market quotes and boostraps
zero rates from it. So Given I already have Zero rates, have I
contstructed the Zero Yield Curve propely? Looks like I have not done
something right.
