1 month Libor settlement convention

November 28th, 2008, 10:43 am

I have asked this question in general forum, but got no answer. Trying here...------LIBOR for USD is using ACT/360. I am wondering how payment date is determined for quoted LIBOR rates, let's say 1 Month LIBOR while today is January 31st? Is it February 28 (29) of the same year? Thanks

Depends on the currency. Read through the BBA website for details but, for example, in usd spot (value date) is t+2 so if today was jan 31st maturity wouldn't be end of feb. Also need to factor in holidays (in the case of usd = NY/Lon, and weekends)
