If by that time the price really goes up, then you make a gain. But if you make a wrong guess and the price declines, then you suffer a loss.3.Financial derivatives are financial commodities deriving from such spot market products asinterest rate or bond, foreign exchange or foreign exchange rate and sto ck or stock indexes.There are mainly three types of derivatives: futures, options and swaps, each of which involves a mix of financial contracts.panies and investment funds are using basic currency futures and currency options, onesthat are regarded as traditional hedging products for investors who want to protect their international assets from sharp gains and declines in currency prices.Chapter 3Answers:II. 1. deposit accounts 2. securitization 3.

Key Terms1)foreign exchange:―Foreign exchange‖ refers t o money denominated in the currency of another nation or group of nations.2)payment“payment”is the transmission of an instruction to transfer value that results from a transaction in the economy.3)settlement―settlement‖ is the final and uncondit ional transfer of the value specified in a payment instruction.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true 4) true1)Tell the reasons why the dollar is the market's most widely tradedcurrency?key points: U.S.A economic background; the leadership of USD in the world economy ; the role it plays in investment , trade, etc.2)What kind of market is the foreign exchange market?Make reference to the following parts:(8.7 The Market Is Made Up of An International Network of Dealers)Chapter 9Instruments交易工具1. Key Terms1) spot transactionA spot transaction is a straightforward (or ―outright‖) exchange of one currency for another. The spot rate is the current market price, the benchmark price.Spot transactions do not require immediate settlement, or payment ―on the spot.‖ By convention, the settlement date, or ―value date,‖is the second business day after the ―deal date‖ (or ―trade date‖) on which the transaction is agreed to by the two traders. The two-day period provides ample time for the two parties to confirm the agreement and arrange the clearing and necessary debiting and crediting of bank accounts in various international locations.2) American termsThe phrase ―American terms‖means a direct quote from the point of view of someone located in the United States. For the dollar, that means that the rate is quoted in variable amounts of U.S. dollars and cents per one unit of foreign currency (e.g., $1.2270 per Euro).3) outright forward transactionAn outright forward transaction, like a spot transaction, is a straightforward single purchase/ sale of one currency for another. The only difference is that spot is settled, or delivered, on a value date no later than two business days after the deal date, while outright forward is settled on any pre-agreed date three or more business days after the deal date. Dealers use the term ―outright forward‖ to make clear that it is a single purchase or sale on a future date, and not part of an ―FX swap‖.4) FX swapAn FX swap has two separate legs settling on two different value dates, even though it is arranged as a single transaction and is recorded in the turnover statistics as a single transaction. The two counterparties agree to exchange two currencies at a particular rate on one date (the ―near date‖) and to reverse payments, almost always at a different rate, on a specified sub sequent date (the ―far date‖). Effectively, it is a spot transaction and an outright forward transaction going in opposite directions, or else two outright forwards with different settlement dates, and going in opposite directions. If both dates are less than one month from the deal date, it is a ―short-dated swap‖; if one or both dates are one month or more from the deal date, it is a ―forward swap.‖5) put-call parity―Put-call parity‖says that the price of a European put (or call) option can be deduced from the price of a European call (or put) option on the same currency, with the same strike price and expiration. When the strike price is the same as the forward rate (an ―at-the-money‖forward), the put and the call will be equal in value. When the strike price is not the same as the forward price, the difference between the value of the put and the value of the call will equal the difference in the present values of the two currencies.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true3. Cloze1) Traders in the market thus know that for any currency pair, if the basecurrency earns a higher interest rate than the terms currency, the currency will trade at a forward discount, or below the spot rate; and if the base currency earns a lower interest rate than the terms currency, the base currency will trade at a forward premium, or above the spot rate. Whichever side of the transaction the trader is on, the trader won't gain (or lose) from both the interest rate differential and the forward premium/discount. A trader who loses on the interest rate will earn the forward premium, and vice versa.2) A call option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlyingcurrency, and a put option is the right, but not the obligation, to sellthe underlying currency. All currency option trades involve two sides—the purchase of one currency and the sale of another—so that a put to sell pounds sterling for dollars at a certain price is also a call to buy dollars for pounds sterling at that price. The purchased currency is the call side of the trade, and the sold currency is the put side of the trade. The party who purchases the option is the holder or buyer, and the party who creates the option is the seller or writer. The price at which the underlying currency may be bought or sold is the exercise , or strike, price. The option premium is the price of the option that the buyer pays to the writer. In exchange for paying the option premium up front, the buyer gains insurance against adverse movements in the underlying spot exchange rate while retaining the opportunity to benefit from favorable movements. The option writer, on the other hand, is exposed to unbounded risk—although the writer can (and typically does) seek to protect himself through hedging or offsetting transactions.4. Discussions1)What is a derivate financial instrument? Why is traded?2)Discuss the differences between forward and futures markets in foreigncurrency.3)What advantages do foreign currency futures have over foreigncurrency options?4)What is meant if an option is ―in the money‖, ―out of the money‖,or ―atthe money‖?5)What major international contracts are traded on the ChicagoMercantile Exchange ? Philadelphia Stock Exchange?Chapter 10Managing Risk in Foreign Exchange Trading外汇市场交易的风险管理1. Key Terms1) Market riskMarket risk, in simplest terms, is price risk, or ―exposure to (adverse)price change.‖ For a dealer in foreign exchange, two major elements of market risk are exchange rate risk and interest rate risk—that is, risks of adverse change in a currency rate or in an interest rate.2) VARVAR estimates the potential loss from market risk across an entire portfolio, using probability concepts. It seeks to identify the fundamental risks that the portfolio contains, so that the portfolio can be decomposed into underlying risk factors that can be quantified and managed. Employing standard statistical techniques widely used in other fields, and based in part on past experience, VAR can be used to estimate the daily statistical variance, or standard deviation, or volatility, of the entire portfolio. On the basis of that estimate of variance, it is possible to estimate the expected loss from adverse price movements with a specified probability over a particular period of time (usually a day).3) credit riskCredit risk, inherent in all banking activities, arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a contract cannot or will not make the agreed payment at maturity. When an institution provides credit, whatever the form, it expects to be repaid. When a bank or other dealing institution enters a foreign exchange contract, it faces a risk that the counterparty will not perform according to the provisions of the contract. Between the time of the deal and the time of thesettlement, be it a matter of hours, days, or months, there is an extension of credit by both parties and an acceptance of credit risk by the banks or other financial institutions involved. As in the case of market risk, credit risk is one of the fundamental risks to be monitored and controlled in foreign exchange trading.4) legal risksThere are legal risks, or the risk of loss that a contract cannot be enforced, which may occur, for example, because the counterparty is not legally capable of making the binding agreement, or because of insufficient documentation or a contract in conflict with statutes or regulatory policy.2. True or False1)True 2) true3. Translation1) Broadly speaking, the risks in trading foreign exchange are the same asthose in marketing other financial products. These risks can be categorized and subdivided in any number of ways, depending on the particular focus desired and the degree of detail sought. Here, the focus is on two of the basic categories of risk—market risk and credit risk (including settlement risk and sovereign risk)—as they apply to foreign exchange trading. Note is also taken of some other important risks in foreign exchange trading—liquidity risk, legal risk, and operational risk2) It was noted that foreign exchange trading is subject to a particular form ofcredit risk known as settlement risk or Herstatt risk, which stems in part from the fact that the two legs of a foreign exchange transaction are often settled in two different time zones, with different business hours. Also noted was the fact that market participants and central banks have undertaken considerable initiatives in recent years to reduce Herstatt risk.4. Discussions2)Discuss the way how V AR works in measuring and managing marketrisk?3)Why are banks so interested in political or country risk?4)Discuss other forms of risks which you know in foreign exchange. Chapter 11The Determination of Exchange Rates汇率的决定1. Key Terms1) PPPPurchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory holds that in the long run, exchange rates will adjust to equalize the relative purchasing power of currencies. This concept follows from the law of one price, which holds that in competitive markets, identical goods will sell for identical prices when valued in the same currency.2) the law of one priceThe law of one price relates to an individual product. A generalization of that law is the absolute version of PPP, the proposition that exchange rates will equate nations' overall price levels.3) FEER―fundamental equilibrium exchange rate,‖ or FEER,envisaged as the equilibrium exchange rate that would reconcile a nation's internal and external balance. In that system, each country would commit itself to a macroeconomicstrategy designed to lead, in the medium term, to ―internal balance‖—defined as unemployment at the natural rate and minimal inflation—and to ―external balance‖—defined as achieving the targeted current account balance. Each country would be committed to holding its exchange rate within a band or target zone around the FEER, or the level needed to reconcile internal and external balance during the intervening adjustment period.4) monetary approachThe monetary approach to exchange rate determination is based on the proposition that exchange rates are established through the process of balancing the total supply of, and the total demand for, the national money in each nation. The premise is that the supply of money can be controlled by the nation's monetary authorities, and that the demand for money has a stable and predictable linkage to a few key variables, including an inverse relationship to the interest rate—that is, the higher the interest rate, the smaller the demand for money.5) portfolio balance approachThe portfolio balance approach takes a shorter-term view of exchange rates and broadens the focus from the demand and supply conditions for money to take account of the demand and supply conditions for other financial assets as well. Unlike the monetary approach, the portfolio balance approach assumes that domestic and foreign bonds are not perfect substitutes. According to the portfolio balance theory in its simplest form, firms and individuals balance their portfolios among domestic money, domestic bonds, and foreign currency bonds, and they modify their portfolios as conditions change. It is the process of equilibrating the total demand for, and supply of, financial assets in each country that determines the exchange rate.2. True or False1) true 2) true3. Cloze1)PPP is based in part on some unrealistic assumptions: that goods are identical; that all goods are tradable; that there are no transportationcosts, information gaps, taxes, tariffs, or restrictions of trade; and—implicitly and importantly—that exchange rates are influenced only byrelative inflation rates. But contrary to the implicit PPP assumption,exchange rates also can change for reasons other than differences ininflation rates. Real exchange rates can and do change significantly overtime, because of such things as major shifts in productivitygrowth, advances in technology, shifts in factor supplies, changes inmarket structure, commodity shocks, shortage, and booms.2)Each individual and firm chooses a portfolio to suit its needs, based on a variety of considerations—the holder's wealth and tastes, the level ofdomestic and foreign interest rates, expectations of future inflation,interest rates, and so on. Any significant change in the underlying factorswill cause the holder to adjust his portfolio and seek a new equilibrium.These actions to balance portfolios will influence exchange rates.4. Discussions1)How does the purchasing power parity work?2)Describe and discuss one model for forecasting foreign exchange rates.3)Make commends on how good are the various approaches mentioned in the chapter.4)Central banks occasionally intervene in foreign exchange markets. Discuss the purpose of such intervention. How effective is intervention?Chapter 12The Financial Markets金融市场1. Key Terms1)money marketThe money market is really a market for short-term credit, or the option to use someone else's money for a period of time in return for the payment of interest. The money market helps the participants in the economic process cope with routine financial uncertainties. It assists in bridging the differences in the timing of payments and receipts that arise in a market economy.2)capital marketMarkets dealing in instruments with maturities that exceed one year are often referred to as capital markets.3)primary marketThe term ―primary market‖ applies to the original issuance of a credit market instrument. There are a variety of techniques for such sales, including auctions, posting of rates, direct placement, and active customer contacts by a salesperson specializing in the instrument4) secondary marketOnce a debt instrument has been issued, the purchaser may be able to resell it before maturity in a ―secondary market.‖ Again, a number of techniques are available for bringing together potential buyers and sellers of existing debt instruments. They include various types of formal exchanges, informal telephone dealer markets, and electronic trading through bids and offers on computer screens. Often, the same firms that provide primary marketing services help to create or ―make‖ secondary markets.5)RPsIn addition to making outright purchases and sales in the secondary market, entities with money to invest for a brief period can acquire a security temporarily, and holders of debt instruments can borrow short term by selling securities temporarily. These two types of transactions are repurchase agree-ments (RPs) and reverse RPs,respectively. In the wholesale market, banks and government securities dealers offer RPs at competitive rates of return by selling securities under contracts providing for their repurchase from one day to several months later6)BAs 7)CDs (reference to 13.1)8) EurodollarEurodollars are U.S. dollar deposits at banking offices in a country other than the United States.9) EurobankEurobanks—banks dealing in Eurodollar or some other nonlocal currency deposits, including foreign branches of U.S. banks— originally held deposits almost exclusively in Europe, primarily London. While most such deposits are still held in Europe, they are also held in such places as the Bahamas, Bahrain, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo, as well as other parts of the world.10)LIBOR (reference to 13.2.2 Certificates of Deposit)London inter-bank offer rate11)mortgage-backed securities12)Eurobond market (details make reference to13.3.3 )The Eurobond market, centered in London, is an offshore market in intermediate- and long-term debt issues. It serves as a source of capital for multinational corporations and for foreign governments. It developed after the United States instituted the interest equalization tax in 1963 to stem capital outflows inspired by relatively low U.S. interest rates.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true3. Discussions1) Describe the characteristics of Interest Rate Swap and the role of it in thebank-related financial market.2) What risks are encountered in the swaps markets?3) Discuss one or two specific examples of derivative products and their use.4. Translations1) Markets dealing in instruments with maturities that exceed one year are often referred to as capital markets, since credit to finance investments in new capital would generally be needed for more than one year. The time division is arbitrary. A long-term project can be started with short-term credit, with additional instruments may need to be renewed before a project is completed. Debt instruments that differ in maturity share other characteristics. Hence, the term ―capital market‖ could be –and occasionally is applied to some shorter maturity transactions.2) The secondary market for Treasure securities consists of a network of dealers, brokers, and investors who effect transactions either by telephone or electronically. Telephone trades are generally between dealers and their customers. Electronics trading is arranged through screen-based systems provided by some of the dealers to their customers. It allows selected trades to take place without a conversation. When dealers trade with each other, they generally use brokers. Brokers provide information on screen, but the final trades are made bytelephone.Chapter 13Concepts of Financial Assets Value金融资产价值的概念1. Key Terms1) absolute measure of valueAn absolute measure of value is used when one must compare it to a nominal amount: purchase price, amount to invest, target sum of money to raise2) relative measure of valueA relative measure of rate of return is more convenient to use when one wishes to compare one financial asset to a set of numerous alternative assets. A rate of return is the most commonly used relative measure of value.3) discountingFuture benefits must be discounted (or converted) to their present (or today's) value, before they are summed. Discounting is part of the study of time value of money, or actuarial mathematics, and a complete treatment of it can be found in specialized textbook.4) time value of moneyTime value of money studies how amounts of money are made equivalent over time. Converting amounts today into their future equivalent consists in adding interest to principal, i.e. compounding. Converting amounts in the future into today's equivalent consists of charging an interest, i.e. discounting. Thus, discounting is the exact inverse of compounding.5) FV 6) PV 7) annuity8) short term securitiesShort term securities (i.e. securities with maturity less than one year) are sold at a discount (i.e. nominal value less the interest to be earned over the remaining number of days to maturity). There is no coupon, and no additional benefits such as conversion right, but there may be a penalty for early redemption in the case of some bank certificates of deposit.9) P/E ratio (make reference to 15.5.3 --Earnings Multiple or P/E Ratio)Another approach which is used as a short-cut by a large number of investors, is the earnings multiple. It is sometimes referred to as earningsmultiplier, and it is most commonly known as price-to-earnings or P/E ratio. In many instances, the approach, rather than being an oversimplification, can be an improvement over the previous format. In its most common presentation, the idea is that the price P of a share should be a multiple m of its earnings per share E. The multiple m is an industry average because it is assumed that all companies in an industry face similar marketing, technological and resource challenges, and thus, should have similar organizational and production patterns.10) intrinsic valueintrinsic value, or difference between market price of the underlying stock and strike price (which is also known as exercise price because it is the price at which an option holder can buy from or sell to the option writer the underlying stock through the options exchange)。
英国大学金融专业课程详解、定位、就业

/英国大学金融专业课程详解、定位、就业国内大学关于金融专业的设置,更偏重宏观方向,以货币银行、国际金融等专业为主。
这和我国的历史情况有关,在过去的二十年里投资行为还没有大幅度兴起,因此银行作为主要的金融机构,自然成为研究的主要对象。
同时随时中国开放程度的加深,国际贸易得到了很大发展,因此国际金融的研究也很有必要。
国外关于金融专业的设置,是两方面都有。
一、以微观为主,也就是研究与公司个体有关的投资、融资等行为。
另一方面就是和国内类似的宏观金融的研究。
因此我们大部分的学生想要在金融这个领域走的更宽或更远,去英国留学选择金融专业绝对是明智的选择,但是金融专业覆盖范围非常广,分类极细,很多学子也经常在金融各细分专业中因为了解程度的原因,最后不能做出最适合自己的选择,以下为对英国大学金融专业的详细剖析,内容较多,请耐心看。

During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester,In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of excellent Graduation Thesis.Research experience and academic activityWhen a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiastand began to narrow down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and eXPerience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program. My future research interests include: Network Scheduling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research (especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining. 英语自我陈述报告2I am the applicant Wang Ming. From September 2002 to July 2006, I studied the specialty of Financial Management at Beijing University of Chemical Technology. Through undergraduate studies, I contacted such disciplines as accounting, international finance, securities investment and so on; however, keenly conscious that my current acquisition is far from enough for me to meet the needs of the fast developing economy, I am eager to pursue further studies. Through various channels, I know about your world-renowned program, and I am now applying for MA Finance and Investment offered by University of Nottingham.At university, I gained a full understanding of accounting and finance. In specialized studies, I obtained excellent academic records. Paying attention to the balancing development of financial and managerial disciplines, I attended those selective courses including Fiscal Science, Human Resource Management, Monetary Banking, Insurance and the like, knowing about theapplication of accounting in various aspects. In this way, when I do relevant topics, in face of real voucher, bill and account book, I have experienced the whole process of keeping accounts and working out financial statement and deepened my understanding of the importance of accounting in enterprises.In the process of studies, I preferred such teaching mode as case class, group discussion, PPT representation and the like, and I always took active part in them, acting as group leader and leading the members to select topic, collect materials and make topic report. We once analyzed the successful development of Nokia in China, the mobile telephone magnate. While Motorola and Samsung had laid a solid foundation in China, how did Nokia establish fine financial system to support its development? Based on the uniform framework of global financial management, Nokia took Chinese characteristics into full consideration in the aspects of account procedures and coordination of headquarters and branches, and only in three years, its headquarters gained the right and opportunity to control its branches, promoting the smooth connection of local places and the globe and seeking expansion. Through such case analysis, I obtained further understanding of the vital position of financial analysis and accounting systems in enterprises. The choice of investment and the opportunities to operate fund can always change inutility into wonder.In Baring Bank bankruptcy discussion in class, I developed an unquenchable interest in financial derivatives. The power of double-edged sword became extremely mighty in market full of competitions. Through this case, I realized the great importance of balance sheet and its check, and if there were strict auditing system and clear pision of rights and responsibilities, the resultmay probably be totally different. In this sense, the function of accounting could not be ignored. After knowing about accounting and financial knowledge, I stressed more on the absorption of knowledge in various aspects, starting to dabble in a variety of aspects, studying the English original books of accounting and comparing the differences of accounting standards in a wealth of countries. When foreign enterprises enter China, how shall we interpret the financial reports of them so as to compare the accounting modes and make the correct decision? After analyzing Daimler-Benz AG, I found out that on account of the differences of accounting statement, a loss-making enterprise could represent profit in another accounting mode, and I was again startled by the function and position of accounting in economy. My eagerness to make certain achievements in the field increased day by day.Despite of academic studies, I was also keen on participation in association activities, joining in Debate Association, English Club and other associations of the university and winning the Third Place in Debate Competition of the college. I am also fond of drawing and calligraphy, devoting a majority of spare time to them. My drawing works won awards in competitions of the university many times.Along with deepening my academic studies, I find that the function of accounting far exceeds commercial field. How to carry out inpidual financing so as to maximize your assets? How to judge the profit-making condition and financial risks of a company from its financial statement in securities market so as to optimize your investment? How the feasibility of an item is reflected in accounting language? Can it bring you prospective profit as you expect? With strong desire for knowledge andcuriosity, I firm my determination to study a postgraduate program. Yours, boasting academic strength in accounting and financial fields, rich teaching resources and excellent curriculum setting, is my ideal destination to pursue further studies, and the practicability of courses and authenticity of cases will enable me to apply my future acquisition to work. In this manner, I will lay a solid academic foundation and cultivate strong practical capability for future engagement in economic field in China. With all sincerity, I hope you can take my application into serious consideration, and I shall appreciate you if you grant me an opportunity for further studies.。

金融学术作文英文
金融学术作文英文英文:As a finance student, I have come across various academic writings that have helped me understand the intricacies of the financial world. In my opinion, academic writing in finance should be clear, concise, and informative. It should provide a detailed analysis of the topic while also being easy to understand for the average reader. Academic writing should not only includetheoretical concepts but also practical examples that can help readers understand how these concepts apply in thereal world.One of the key aspects of academic writing in finance is the use of technical jargon. While it is important to use technical terms to convey specific meanings, it is equally important to ensure that the reader can understand the meaning of these terms. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between using technical terms andexplaining them in simple language.Another important aspect of academic writing in finance is the use of data and statistics.

A STUDY ON FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE WORLDWIDE TRANSACTIONS –FUTURES CONTRACTSCiobanu GheorgheBabeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Sechel Ioana-CristinaBabeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Faculty of Economics and Business AdministrationFinancial products and financial derivatives transactions are on front page in the profile publications, because they have generated huge gains for a small part of market participants, and losses as well, sometimes followed by collapse even on the international financial institutions. Very common we can find in specialized media the hypothesis that the global instability was caused by derivative contracts and by the magnitude of these transactions, from the years preceding the crisis. Since they appeared in order to protect investors against various risks, we believe that the approach must have via derivative products is the ethical one. It is true that derivatives trades have grown very rapidly and have expanded from the commercial field (commodity derivatives) to the capital market, but this was because the demand for such products was very high. Basically, the demand for financial derivatives products has validated their existence in the market.Derivative financial products are used by traders of financial intermediation companies, dealers, brokers, individual investors and corporations or governments. Precisely because of this large spectrum of users of financial derivatives, we can ask whether they should be used only by specialists in derivatives trading. Taken literally, the term derivative refers to a new product resulting from the modification of an existing product, but has different properties from the original product and from which it was derived (Business Dictionary 2012). But financially speaking, a derivative is a financial contract between two or more parts that comes from the future value of n reference asset (Reuters 2001, 17). Of course, in literature there are many definitions of the concept of financial derivative. If we were to build our own simple definition, we define financial derivatives as financial contracts based on an underlying asset whose price on the spot market determines its price. This is a very simple statement, but true.Regarding the main categories of derivatives market, the literature (Popa 1994, 62) (Bako 2006, 65) refers to four such categories: forward markets, futures markets, options market and swap markets. We chose as a subject for this article the futures market, worldwide.

EUREX is one of the most representative markets for derivatives worldwide. This was the first market where investors could trade derivatives on gas emission allowances with greenhouse effect (CO2). The great advantage of this market, managed by Deutsche Bourse AG and SIX Swiss Exchange, has been buying ISE (International Securities Exchange) in 2007, this system offers a wide variety of electronic trading platforms and access to many international stock exchanges. Volume traded with derivatives increased on average by 34% in all markets.2010/2009Source: made by author by data provided by the World Federation of Exchanges. As shown in figure number 2 above, the most commercial derivatives were traded in the Asia-Pacific. Stock exchanges in this area increased in trading volumes (36% higher in 2010 compared to 2009), given that 87% of total volume traded in this region of the world has been determined by China. The volume of commodities derivatives traded at Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2010 increased by 43% compared to 2009, while on the stock market in Zhengzhou were traded with 118% more transactions in 2010 compared to 2009.Chicago Stock Exchange (CME Group) dominates the trading with commodities derivatives in America, across all segments, as follows: agricultural products, energy products and metals. The number of derivative contracts traded in 2010 was 35% higher than traded during 2009. This because of the possibility created by stock exchanges for investors to trade using trading platforms such as CME, CBOT and NYMEX.2.Currency future contractsCurrency futures contracts require standardization of most elements (Ciobanu 1997, 204), the margin that has to be submitted is very small, hence the possibility of employment in high value transactions. However, a small margin for the transactions engaged, can bring huge profits, but this mechanism can generate losses as well. Most times, transactions with the future contracts with underlying asset on currencies, are made for speculative purposes or for a foreign exchange risk coverage.Derivative transactions with underlying asset on currencies saw a remarkable increase in 2010 in their volume compared to 2009. Worldwide, the increase was 142% for stock exchange markets taken in the analysis of World Federation of Exchanges. Thus, in the top of stock exchanges with the highest growth of derivatives trading volumes on currency futures, there is Osaka Securities Exchange with a volume increase of 684% in 2010 compared to 2009, MCX-SX (MCX Stock Exchange Ltd India) with an increase of 294% or National Stock Exchange of India with an increase of 218%. At CME Group, the volume of transactions increased by 45%.The volume of transactions with derivative contracts with underlying asset on currencies declined by 11% in 2010 at NYSE Liffe, compared to 2009.As shown in the figure number 3, most currencies derivatives were traded in Asia-Pacific.

Interest rate future contractsInterest rate futures are commitments to deliver or to receive at a fixed maturity, a financial asset with an interest fixed at the start of operation (Ciobanu 1997, 206). The purpose of the futures contract in this case is the interest produced by the asset, the buyer will actually buy the interest that the asset will produce in the future. This interest will have a fixed rate at the signing of the contract.Regarding trading derivative products with underlying asset on interest rates, there has been an increase on their volumeby 29% in 2010 compared to 2009, worldwide after two consecutive years of decline. Since 2009, trading interest rate derivatives has evolved in the context of the practice of monetary policy interest of almost 0% by several major central banks around the world. But from 2011 the European Central Bank changed its interest rate and increased it from 1% to 1.25% in April 2011, the same action have been adopted by other specialized banks, the perspective of gains for investors using derivatives on interest rates, was almost obvious. Thus, the first months of 2011 have brought increased trading volumes on these instruments.Regarding the distribution of derivative transactions on interest rates, in 2010, 40% of them have been concluded with futures contracts based on short-term interest rates (STIR futures), 39% with futures based on long term interest rates (LTRI futures), 16% with options contracts based on short-term interest rates (STRI options) and 5% were concluded with options contracts based on Figure no 4.

The period of the financial derivatives transactions boom was situated between 2003 and 2007 when most of the capital markets were increasing. During this period the growth of derivative products traded was higher than the volume traded on spot markets, worldwide. The years 2008 and 2009 brought with the crisis a decline in volumes of traded derivative products, globally. However, 2010 was noteworthy, the increase was 25% compared to 2009. With this increase of trading volume it returned to pre-crisis level. The major reasons for this increase relates to better market conditions in 2010, trading infrastructure development, etc.If we analyze the derivative contracts traded by different regions, there is an impressive increase in trading volumes in the Asia-Pacific (+36%), especially in the KOSPI (Korea Composite Stock Price Index) on the options. In the America, traded volumes of such products in 2010 increased by approximately 35% in 2010 compared to 2009, and in the Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the increase was about 21%.The main attribute of increased derivatives trading volumes on the one hand is the increasing of global liquidity and on the other hand it ensures a fair distribution of risk between the various participants at the transaction. We could say that much of the derivatives market participant expectations palette was satisfied with the financial instruments provided, but certainly there is enough space remained for new products and new innovations in this field.Bibliography:Books:1.Bako, Dana.
