Summary

Add "THB.ABS/THB01" code to settlement-rate-option scheme. Note this hasn't been published so far in a Supplements to Annex A of the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions but this Reuters page is used today on non-deliverable THB interest rate swaps. As an example of its definition search for THB in the following doc http://www.fisn.com/Disclosure/HSBC%20Corp%20Commodity%20Basket%20Note%205Yrs%2011-24-06.pdf

The scheme code description would be:

The Spot Rate for a Rate Calculation Date will be the Thai Baht/U.S. Dollar spot rate at 11:00 a.m., Singapore time, expressed as the amount of Thai Bhaht per one U.S. Dollar, for settlement in two Business Days, reported by the Association of Banks in Singapore which appears on the Reuters Screen ABSIRFIX01 Page to the right of the caption "Spot" under the column "IDR" at approximately 11:30 a.m., Singapore time, on that Rate Calculation Date.

    There was a typo in my description. The reference to IDR should have been THB. So the correct description is:

    The Spot Rate for a Rate Calculation Date will be the Thai Baht/U.S. Dollar spot rate at 11:00 a.m., Singapore time, expressed as the amount of Thai Bhaht per one U.S. Dollar, for settlement in two Business Days, reported by the Association of Banks in Singapore which appears on the Reuters Screen ABSIRFIX01 Page to the right of the caption “Spot” under the column “THB” at approximately 11:30 a.m., Singapore time, on that Rate Calculation Date.
