    Could anyone help me with a question? I am wondering if Euribor curve and the Eurodollar curve should essentially be the same as each other?


    Thanks

    no. they are both short term rates
    euribor is euro's 3 month LIBOR
    eurodollar is dollar's 3 month LIBOR
    there's euroswiss, euroyen, short sterling, probably others

    I'm trying to figure out how to translate Euribor to swaps or treasuries.

    I was hoping they were the same since the eurodollar curve is essentially on top of swaps. And actually makes up the short end of the swaps curve.

    oh, then yes. you do it the same way to create the short end of the "forward" euro swaps curve. You can get spot euribor at http://www.euribor.org/

    Any idea if there are any bloomberg functions for Euribor? Like EDSF for eurodollars?

    you can take a look at the swapnote contract on LIFFE and compare it to the euribor sequence.
    Ib offers a spread trading window,so you can take a look at the yield curve that way.Good luck!
