Hi , would you please tell me whats the meaning of : 3 v 4 7.45 – 7.34 3 v 7 7.53 – 7.43 4 v 7 7.53 – 7.45 and why the appropriate forward rate agreement is 3 v 7 agreement? thank you.
3 v 7 means a load starting in 3 months and finishing in 7 months. (The loan in the question starts in 3 months and lasts for 4 months, and so this is the appropriate FRA).
The reason for two interest rates is that the lower one is for depositing and the higher one is for borrowing.
