}Calculate Z-Spread
Calculate the Z-spread (Zero-volatility spread) - the constant spread that, when added to the spot rate curve, makes the present value of a bond’s cash flows equal its market price. Unlike G-spread or I-spread which compare yields, Z-spread properly accounts for the term structure of interest rates by discounting each cash flow at the appropriate spot rate plus spread. This provides a more accurate measure of credit risk. Essential for relative value analysis and credit trading. [Tier: STANDARD, Credits: 2]
