"This fully updated and revised sixth edition of the Guide to financial markets provides a clear explanation of the different markets. It goes well beyond stocks and bonds to explain the purposes and uses of equity futures and options, securitised instruments, and innovations such as the credit derivatives that can help manage risk but can also prove toxic when not used carefully"--Cover page 4.
Including chapters on the markets that deal with money, foreign exchange, equities, bonds, commodities, financial futures, options and other derivatives, this book looks at why these markets exist, how they work and who trades in them, and gives a run-down of the factors that affect prices and rates.
