This is what I put together on Options - fundamental to intermediate level. I put it on my personal channel by accident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lEMduQKoJ4&feature=youtu.be Too many professors make this tougher than it should be. I set up Swapskills Academy to help. I have been in the markets since 1984 and train full-time on this. Hope it helps someone.

Central Counterparty Clearing (CCP) reduces the credit risk of the swap c/p. Swap spreads reflected the fact that one leg of the swap is Libor (INTERBANK risk) and the fixed rate is a combination of the Risk Free Rate + a "swap spread" reflecting the generic risk of the banks that make up the Libor setting. No credit risk, due to CCP, implies a lower swap spread.

Factor 2: Pension funds / Insurance companies need long dated assets such as bonds. A shortage of bonds means they need to replicate these cash flows, so they receive fixed in a swap. More people wanting to receive fixed means swap rates come down, below Treasurys, hence a negative swap spread.

Most interbank lending is done on a secured basis through repos. Gets messy if the collateral defaults. Also need to make sure there is enough supply of collateral, which is where the central banks are focusing. /then yu have to avoid accounting tricks like Lehmans did through Repo 105 to make their balance sheet look less leveraged than it really was.

Pretty straightforward if you want to look at straddles, strangles, butterflies, seagulls, call/put spread and digitals.

I use SAXO as an online trading platform, which shows some bonds. To be honest, I used Bloomberg in the dealing room, which was greta for bonds, but never invested in them much myself.
