What are the Key benefits of TraditionData Data package?	Manage Interest Rate Risk: Basis swaps can be used to manage the interest rate risk in a portfolio by allowing market participants to exchange one floating interest rate for another floating interest rate, to remove tenor mismatch risk in a portfolio. Improve Diversification: By using cross currency basis swaps, investors manage forward foreign exchange and interest rate deferential risk exposure between two currencies. Hedge Interest Rate Exposure: Basis swaps can also be used as a hedging tool to reduce imbalances in interest rate exposure of a portfolio.
What is a Basis Swap?	Basis swaps are financial derivatives that allow market participants to exchange one floating interest rate for a different floating rate risk. Single currency basis swaps (for example tenor swaps) provide valuable information relating to credit risk of term lending, for example the low credit risk of overnight lending compared to the higher risk of 3 month lending. Cross currency basis swaps provide information about interest rate differentials in different currencies and the implied expected change in relative value of the two currencies in the FX markets. CCP basis swaps are used to move a cleared swap position from one CCP to another receiving or paying a small differential on the fixed rate or the swap.
Is Historical Data Available?	Yes, It varies by currency, for example, the USD Basis Swap has been been available since 2020 however, the JPY Basis swap has been available since 2009.
