Luis,
        what interpolation are you using, and on what? (discounts, forwards,

-- LogLinear interpolation on the discount rate

Hmm. What data are you using?

-- both curves were created using the same data from Bloomberg, which is a combination of the deposit rates, futures and swap rates out to 50 yrs
