Implied Correlation

A factor in the pricing of multi-market financial instruments, implied correlation reflects a dealer's expectation of the relationship between two or more primary valuation parameters. For example, evaluating a swaption in terms of caps or floors requires analysis of the correlations among volatilities of a number of forward rates. Implied correlations among currency exchange rate pair volatilities are reflected in the pricing of their cross rate options.
