Swap pricing model HELP!!!

[j88jke]

Hey,
I've just started working at BNP Paribas on a summer internship and need some help with something.....
I've been asked to build a swap pricing model. I've been given a set of market rates (which I'll attach below) that consist of cash, futures and swaps rates. I need to get a curve which I can then model my swap pricer on (ie find discount rates etc.).
Trouble is, the futures are not like the other rates, and to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing. I beleive I need to 'bootstrap' this curve, but at the minute cant do that as I dont really have a complete curve, instead I've got lots of 99.xxx etc.
Could someone please give me a clue as to what I need to do as I've been stuck on this for a while now and really dont understand it.
I'm only doing a 10yr GBP 3m Libor swap, and here are the market rates: thanks!

1D 0.8963
1W 0.8964
1M 0.9019
2M 0.9070

Hehehe, amico, fun and games galore are in store for you!

For futures, you need to think about what the prices represent. Specifically, a futures price of X implies that the par rate on the futures contract-dated FRA is 100 - X. However, the simple futures-implied FRA rates aren't going to quite do it for you and there's additional steps required to actually obtain fwd rates that you can plug into your bootstrap method.

This is specialized sorta stuff, so send me a PM if you have questions.

That's pretty mean for an internship.....

What else do you expect from ze French?

looks to me like they've already been taken.

I always get my kids to look at this

Have a chat with a spreadsheet developer (if you can find one) and ask him about using your in-house analytics

thanks blade, that looks really helpful, just scanned through it now so may look at it later this evening. Seems like there may be a lot i'm missing from my model that this mentions I need to do (i.e. dont just continuously compoun the rates, they've got to be bootstrapped - and this can only be done once the cash and futures rates have been converted into forward rates - none of that is done in my model)
I'll have a look but in the meanwhile any more help is greatly appreciated as I really want to get this finished!
Cheers
