spot

The spot rate for any maturity is the yield on a bond that provides a single payment at that maturity. This is a zero coupon bond. Because each spot rate pertains to a single cashflow, it is the relevant interest rate concept for discounting a pension liability at the same maturity.

Usage

spot [-m MATURITY] [-c CATEGORY] [-d] [-s START_DATE] [-e END_DATE]
