Spread-limit hold 'em. Spread-limit hold 'em is a form of hold 'em that dictates that all bets and raises are done in increments between the spread of two amounts (hence the name).

The asset swap spread is the spread that equates the difference between the present value of the bondâs cashflows, calculated using the swap zero rates, and the market price of the bond. This spread is a function of the bondâs market price and yield, its cashflows and the implied zero-coupon interest rates.he zero-coupon curve used in the calculation is derived from the interest-rate swap curve. Put simply, the Z-spread is the basis point spread that would need to be added to the implied spot yield curve such that the discounted cash flows of the a bond are equal to its present value (its current market price).
