Spot Rate and Forward Rate Spot Rate: It is nothing more than the YTM on bond. It is the rate of interest on bond maturing at any time in the future. It is also known as geometric average of 1 year forward rates in the future. Hence‚ YTM on bonds can be calculated as: When forward rates are given then; oS1 = oF1 oS2 = [(1+of1)(1+1F2)](1/2) -1 oS3 = [(1+of1)(1+1F2)(1+2F3)](1/3) -1 and so on. Forward Rates: It is the interest rate established today ‚ that will be paid on money to
