Interest Rate Differentials form the basis of many popular trading strategies in forex and other asset markets. One of these strategies is known as the carry trade, where traders use low yielding currencies to fund the purchase of a higher yielding currency.

The Absolute Rate is shown in percentage form (not as a reference rate discount), and combines the reference rate and the discounted fixed percentage of an interest rate swap. So, with LIBOR rates at 2 percent and a fixed interest swap component of 6 percent, the Absolute Rate is calculated to be 8 percent.
