Gap is the first currency's policy rate minus the second's. n/a in 12 months means one of the two curves stops short of that date (the Fed curve reaches July 2027). Market pricing, not a forecast. Each bank's own odds: central bank rate probability.

What is an interest rate differential in forex?

The gap between the policy rates of the two central banks behind a pair. Money tends to favour the currency that pays more after inflation, and the gap is what the carry trade collects. What moves a pair is usually the change in the priced gap, not its level, which is why each page shows it six and twelve months out.

Where do the priced rates come from?

From each bank's market-implied path: the rate implied after its last meeting on or before each horizon, from the futures or swaps behind it. A curve that stops short of a horizon gives no figure for it. The same paths are on each bank's rate expectations page.
