Hi all,Could anybody shed some light on how to get quanto correlation in illiquid market? I'd like to price some quanto derivatives and EURCHF vs CHF Libor correlation is needed for calculation. The market is quite illiquid there, so it is impossible to get implied correlations from market quotes. I thought about the historical correlation. But just calculate the correlation between the time series of FX rate and the libor rates seems to be too simple. And the data is really unstable, i.e. if the rolling period changes (daily, weekly, monthly...), the correlation changes dramatically. Is there any better solution? Any comment is appreciated!
