Talk:Overnight rate

counting & quote
From friday to monday, how many days? count as 1 day or 3 days? Quote is usually on yearly basis, then the year is 360 days or 365 days or 366 days, or just 300 days? I think that the article should clarify these. Jackzhp (talk) 18:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * From here:
 * ''bbalibor is not a compounded rate but is calculated on the basis of actual days in funding period/360*. Therefore, the formula is as follows:
 * ''Interest Due = Principle Sum * (bbalibor Rate / 100) * (Number of days in interest period / 360)
 * ''*Please note that for GBP the calculation basis is 365 days.
 * ''It is also important to work out the exact/actual number of days in the funding period, which is not always 90 days for a 3-month deposit but could e.g. be 89 or 91 days.
 * If you have a funding period of, for example, 45 days you could extrapolate between the one and the two month rate to arrive at the correct bbalibor rate.

Yearly or nightly?
Is the overnight rate the interest charged for one "night" or is it a yearly interest rate? E.g. at a 2% rate, would borrowing $1,000 cost $1,020 to repay the next day or ~ $1,000.05 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.229.167 (talk) 06:26, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
