INTEREST SWAPS
An interest rate swap is a forward contract in which one stream of
future interest payments is exchanged for another based on a
specified principal amount. Interest rate swaps usually involve the
exchange of a fixed interest rate for a floating rate, or vice versa,
to reduce or increase exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or
to obtain a marginally lower interest rate than would have been
possible without the swap.

VALUATION CURRENCY SWAPS
For currency swaps, an interest rate must be priced for each currency.
Each side of the currency swap has its own notional principal in its own
currency. Therefore, if one side of the swap has a notional set to 1, then the
notional for the other party will be 1/exchange rate.

SWAPTIONS
• In a payer swaption, the purchaser has the right but not the obligation to enter
into a swap contract where they become the fixed-rate payer and the
floating-rate receiver.
•A receiver swaption is the opposite i.e. the purchaser has the option to enter
into a swap contract where they will receive the fixed rate and pay the floating
rate.
•Swaptions are over-the-counter contracts and are not standardized, like equity
options or futures contracts. Thus, the buyer and seller need to both agree to the
price of the swaption, the time until expiration of the swaption, the
notional amount and the fixed/floating rates.
•Beyond these terms, the buyer and seller must also agree whether the swaption
style will be Bermudan, European or American. These style names have nothing to
do with geography; instead referring to the methodology in which the swaption
will be executed.
USES OF SWAP
4. To reduce the funding cost by exploiting the comparative advantage that each
counterparty has in the fixed/floating rate markets, and
5. For trading.
