Download or read book The Theory of Futures Trading Routledge Revivals written by Barry Goss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1972, this book provides an important critical review on the theory of futures trading. B. A. Goss looks at the work and ideas of Keynes and Hicks on futures, and considers how these have also been developed by Kaldor. He discusses the evolution of the concept of hedging in the context of buying forward into the markets, and considers theories of market and individual equilibrium. Goss draws on the work of other economists in this field, including Stein, Telser, Peston and L. L. Johnson, in order to illustrate the development of theory in futures trading. The book includes fifteen figures that illustrate diagrammatically the concepts involved, and the concluding section contains a series of problems for examination by the student.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing financial sophistication and the recent acceleration in the pace of financial innovation has led to a dramatic growth in the economic significance of futures markets. In particular, the volume of trade in financial futures has mushroomed over the last decade, and in the case of stock index futures now rivals that of trade in the stocks themselves. Given the greater prominence of these markets, it is important for both students and academics to be aware of recent advances in the theoretical understanding of their function and performance. This volume examines a wide range of issues which arise in the theory of futures markets. An introductory chapter analyses a simple equilibrium model of a futures market and focuses upon the role of the market in spreading risk. Other chapters examine such issues as the following: conditions under which trading in futures markets leads to a fully efficient reallocation of risk; the role of different assumptions about expectations formation on the nature of equilibrium; the affect of trading futures on price volatility in the spot market; the provision of liquidity and the role of transactions costs; the extent to which futures prices reveal traders' private information; determinants of hedging and speculative trading decisions; factors influencing the likelihood of a manipulation of the market i.e., a corner or squeeze; the importance of program trading and dynamic hedging strategies on price volatility in equity markets. The breadth and timeliness of the book will ensure it becomes a standard reference for academics and professionals working in financial markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, this book discusses many important aspects of the theory and practice of Futures Markets. It describes how they, at the time, grew to be an increasingly important feature of the world's major financial centres. Indeed, they adopted the role of being efficient forward pricing mechanisms and this was reflected by the interest of economists in the study of risk, uncertainty and information. Here, the contributors focus on areas that were of concern in the late 1980s such as feasibility, forward pricing and returns, and the modelling of price determination in Futures Markets. Evidence is drawn from twenty-five different commodities representing all the major commodity groups; and from all the world's major centres of Futures Trading.

This book was released on 2011-07-22 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Above all the study is intended to shed more light on the following questions: - the functioning of interest rate futures markets, - the behaviour and transactions of economic agents in these markets, -factors determining the results of transactionsin interest rate future markets. Above we argued that these markets emerged in an environment of fluctuating interest rates to provide traders in financial markets with an instrument to deal with the risk stemming from unexpected price changes. It will be this hedging aspect of interest rate futures markets on which the following research is concentrated. The main points to be investigated are: - to what extent interest rate risk is reduced or even abolished, - the effects of futures trading in interest-bearing securities on risk and return of single assets and portfolios, - the consequences on the situation of participants in capital markets, - optimal strategies to reduce the exposure to interest rate risk.

Download or read book The Economic Function of Futures Markets written by Jeffrey Williams and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1989-10-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an explanation of why commodity processors and dealers use futures markets. It argues that they use futures contracts as part of an implicit method of borrowing and lending commodities, contrary to the accepted view of dealers averse to the fluctuating value of their inventories wanting insurance against price risk. Employing models developed to explain the demand for money, this book demonstrates that risk-neutral dealers have sufficient reason to use futures markets. Moreover, the book exposes major internal inconsistencies in the accepted explanation. Rather than insurance markets, the appropriate analogy is the money market, which is the point the book establishes through discussing actual loan markets in commodities. This insight into the function of futures markets is then used to explain how futures prices for different delivery dates express a term structure of commodity-specific interest rates and why futures markets flourish for some types of commodities and not for others.

This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The World Scientific Handbook of Futures Markets serves as a definitive source for comprehensive and accessible information in futures markets. The emphasis is on the unique characteristics of futures markets that make them worthy of a special volume. In our judgment, futures markets are currently undergoing remarkable changes as trading is shifting from open outcry to electronic and as the traditional functions of hedging and speculation are extended to include futures as an alternative investment vehicle in traditional portfolios. The unique feature of this volume is the selection of five classic papers that lay the foundations of the futures markets and the invitation to the leading academics who do work in the area to write critical surveys in a dozen important topics."--$cProvided by publisher.
