Currency Exchange.


e will be considering USD and GBP markets equipped with LIBOR prices and spot riskless rates. There is currency exchange market with quotes on spot exchange rate and forward exchange agreements. We already saw how to construct market models for each of the markets and price fixed income derivatives. The present chapter treats pricing of derivatives dependent on both markets.

We will derive SDE for exchange rate, show how to change probability measure from one market to another and apply these concepts to pricing of some cross currency products.
