Forward Swap data

June 25th, 2003, 5:35 pm

I know its a long shot, but due to a technical 'hitch' my data is a distant memory. Is there anyone who has a historical record of forward swap points on 2,5 and 10Y swaps across 1,3,6,12 month forward points? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

Or even anyone who knows where this data would be available?

Well, it's just that I kept a record of forward rates, albeit from Bloomberg but I kept them nonetheless and I had a record going back quite far. I used it to look at forward rate vols etc etc, but I have recently lost the entire database. I was just wondering whether anyone else had kept a record of forward swap rates on the swaps and forward points I had mentioned.

You are right, and I think that I will just do that. In my laziness, I guess I was looking for a nice point and click solution. Thanks for the replies.
