  • Dates are sorted in ascending order.
  • The first date is Jan 2nd 1990.
  • The number of tenors has grown over time. E.g. in 1990 there was no 1 Month and 2 Month tennor, but now there is. These missing values for older dates have empty string in the csv file, as can be seen in the snipped above.
