Canadian Yield Curve within one year

October 4th, 2010, 2:52 pm

Would anybody know what instruments do traders use to construct a short term Canadian yield curve up to one year? Are there Bloomberg or Reuters pages available that describe that information?Thanks,Nick

It's very similar to the other curves: depos, followed by futures (BAs), followed by swaps...You can look at how BBG does it using ICVS and selecting CAD.

My bad, I should have clarified the question. I was referring to the 3mo CAD BA vs. USD Libor Basis Swap curve. I was actually looking for sources so that I can verify the traders' curves. On BBG, CADT2 displays only from 1YR out but nothing for the short term, i.e. 1mo to 1yr.

So would anyone know what traders use to build their short term (1 year and < ) 3mo CAD BA vs USD Libor Basis Swap curve?
