Lesson 3Financial Market

The word “finance” signifies capital in monetary form, that is, in the form of funds lent or borrowed, normally for capital purposes, through financial markets or financial institutions.When finance goes international, it is then an international finance.What is a financial market? It is a place where financial transactions take place.When a financial transaction takes place between a resident of a country and a non-resident, it is an international financial transaction, and the place where the transaction is traded is called an international financial market.A financial market consists of foreign exchange market, money market, capital market and gold market.The flow of funds through the financial markets may be divided into different segments, depending upon the characteristics of financial claims being traded and the needs of different groups.One of the most important divisions in the financial system is between the money market and the capital market.The money market is designed for the making of short-term loans.It is the institution through which individuals and institutions with temporary surpluses of funds meet borrowers who have temporary funds shortages.Thus, the money market enables economic units(principally business firms and governments)to manage liquidity.By convention, a security or loan maturing within one year or less is considered to be a money market instrument.One of the principal functions of the money market is to finance the working-capital needs of corporations and to provide governments with short-term funds in lieu of tax collections.The money market also supplies funds for speculative buying of securities and commodities.Because most loans and securities traded in the money market are large, typically in million dollar units, it is often called a wholesale market, catering to the largest borrowers.In contrast, the capital market is designed to finance long-term investments by businesses, governments, and households.Trading of funds in the capital market makes possible the construction of factories, office buildings, highways, bridges, etc.Financial instruments in the capital market have original maturities of more than one year and range in size from small loans to very large, multi-million dollar credits.Thus, the capital market trades in both wholesale(large)loans and securities and retail(small)loans and securities.In the followings, we shall focus our study on capital market.As mentioned above, capital market refers to the trading market with loan maturity over one year, it is also called medium and long-term capital market.There are two kinds of financing on the capital market, namely, medium and long-term loan of the bank and securities trading.Therefore, the capital market, to be specific, can be divided into medium and long-term credit market of the bank and securities market.1.Medium and long-term credit market of the bank.This is where banks offer medium and long-term credit funds.Through the market, the supply and demand sides of medium and long-term capital realize financial accommodation.The demand side in the market is chiefly government,industrial and commercial enterprises.If the

term of fund maturity is1to 5 years, it is generally called medium-term.If the term is over 5 years, it is called long-term.The interest rate of funds is determined by various factors, including economic situation, capital supply volume, inflation rate and financial policy.Since capital turnover period in this market is long, the risk is also rather high.Therefore, in considering loan making, the bank will, apart from examining the loan applicant's objective, concentrate on analyzing its debt payment ability.2.Securities market.This is the place for the issuance and circulation of securities.The stock exchange where concentrated security trading is conducted is a physical market with fixed location.The source of capital in security market comes mainly from insurance company, investment and trust company, savings bank and fund organizations of various kinds.They attract large sums of capital from the vast number of policyholders, investors and depositors and then put the capital into the securitymarket.Capital demand in the market comes from government and enterprises.Securities usually traded on the security market include(1)government bond, that is, treasury notes and treasury bonds issued by the government, which can be transferred any time on the market but is unredeemable before maturity;(2)corporate bond, that is, promissory note of enterprise for debt raising, committing to pay back principal and interest within a certain period.(3)corporate stock, that is, a stock certificate issued bythe enterprise for raising capital fund.It should be designed in accordance with the form and content laid down in the Company Law of the individual country, making clear the amount of capital, the total number of stock and the amount of each share.The stock is generally divided into common stock and preferred stock.Common stock dividend will be allocated only when the enterprise is making a profit and after dividend is paid to preferred stock.As to the actual amount of dividend, it will bedecided by the shareholder meeting on the plan submitted by the board of directors, The preferred stock carries with it fixed dividend rate which will be paid ahead of common stock from the after tax net profit of the enterprise.The function of the security market:

The basic function of the security market is the promotion of the movement of factors and the rational allocation of resources.This is also why the security market is the core of modem market economic system, enjoying great vigor and attractiveness.The security market can play a role to optimize resource allocation because it possesses the following four functions:

l.The self-expansive function of the security market

Direct financing and indirect financing are the two basic forms of capital movement in modern market economy.With fixed sum of capital in society, when the amount of direct financing goes up, indirect financing amount will decrease correspondingly.The special attraction of the security market, the stock market in particular, lies in the fact that it is composed of the primary market and the secondary

market.The amplifying effect and multiplier effect of the stock price on the secondary market have special attraction for investors.Such attraction of the secondary market in tum strengthens activities in the primary market, making it possible for the continued issuance of stocks by enterprises that enjoy advantageous position and possess vast prospect.The activity in the primary market will provide more reliable guarantee for the operation of the secondary market, thus further expanding room of activity and choice for the secondary market.Through such combination of primary and secondary markets, the ratio of direct financing in social economy will be continuously raised and the position and role of security market in resource allocation will also be improved.2.The self-selection function of the security market

The self-selection function of the security market consists of two parts: the market and the listing company.In terms of the market, the fact that the exchange, through strict listing standard, chooses listing company, is in itself an important way of improving resource allocation efficiency.The more rigorous the listing standard, the greater the constraint on the stock company, which will further make it improve its economic efficiency.In terms of listing company, the formation of special power structure and restraint mechanism such as shareholders meeting, board of directors and board of supervisors, and the possession by the company of the two channels of direct and indirect financing, will facilitate the company to carry out independent operation and self-development in accordance with the intrinsic demand of a stock company, to choose the mechanism and form of composition of self-owned capital and capital of another party in accordance with the actual situation of the enterprise, and to choose the time and direction of investment in accordance with the inner demand of the market.Such company is only responsible to and must be responsible to the market and the investors and to no other person.3.The self-stimulation function of the security market

4.The self-restraint mechanism of the security market

Ⅱ.E TO C:

The U.S.money market is a wholesale market for short-term, high-quality debt instruments.Original maturities are one year or less, much of the trading is in very short maturities, and there is usually a very active secondary market.There is no central exchange.Trading is carried out on an over-the-counter basis in the trading rooms of investment dealers and banks, working with electronic communication rather than communicating face-to-face.The dollar size of individual trades is large;$100 million is not uncommon.The total market volume runs to hundreds of billions of dollars each day.The money market serves two primary purposes.First, it provides the means by which the Fed can implement monetary policy as developed by the Federal Reserve Board.The open-market operations of the Fed involve the purchase or sale of government securities, which, in turn, control commercial bank reserves, credit expansion, and the money supply.The second function of the money market is that of any capital market, to move resources from sectors with surplus funds to those in a deficit position.The principal instruments in the U.S.money market include Fed funds, treasury bills and government agency notes, Eurodollars, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, banker's acceptances, and repurchase agreements.III.C TO E:

金融市場可分為一級市場和二級市場。一級市場是指那些還未發行的新債券的買賣市場。二級市場是交易已發行的股票，其主要功能是為證券投資者提供變現工具。如果你將股票或債券出售給親戚、朋友，或一經紀人；或購買在股票交易所上市的股票，你就參與了二級市場的交易。

1.What is finance? 什么叫金融？ The word “finance” signifies capital in monetary form, that is, in the form of funds lent or borrowed, normally for capital purposes, through financial markets or financial institutions.When finance goes international, it is then an international finance.2.What is financial market?什么是金融市場？

It is a place where financial transactions take place.Financial markets facilitate the lending of funds from savers to those who wish to undertake investments.Those that wish to borrow to finance investment projects sell financial instruments to savers.3.what is primary market? 什么是初級市場？ A primary market is a financial market in which new issues of a security, such as a bond or a stock, are sold to initial buyers by the corporation or government agency borrowing the funds.4.What is secondary market? 什么是二級市場？ A secondary market is a financial market in which securities that have been previously issued(and are thus secondhand)can be resold.5.Which methods could be used to balance the international payment deficit? 哪些方法可以用來平衡國際收支逆差？

6.What are the major functions of modern commercial bank?現代商業銀行的主要功能是什么？ a.They are medium of credit.b.They are medium of payment.c.They change money into capital.d.They are creation of credit.7.先解釋貨幣市場再說特征

businesses have aggressively pursued alternatives to low-interest-rate bank accounts.One such alternative is provided by the money markets.Money market have three basic characteristics in common:

a.They are usually sold in large denominations.b.They have low default risk.c.They mature in one year or less from their original issue date.Most money market instruments mature in less than 120 days.8.Participants of Money Market 貨幣市場的參與者（選擇其中兩個解釋即可）a.The Government In money market, the government is unique because it is always a supplier and demander of money market funds.The U.S.Treasury is the largest of all money market borrowers worldwide.It issues Treasury bills(often called T-bills)and other securities that are popular with other money market participants.Short-term issues enable the government to raise the maturing issues.b.The Central Bank The Central Bank is the Treasury’s agent for the distribution of government securities.The central bank holds vast quantities of Treasury securities that it sells if it believes that the money supply should be reduced.Similarly, the central bank purchases Treasury securities if it believes that the money supply should be expanded.The central bank’s responsibility for the money supply makes it the single most influential participant in the money market.c.Commercial BanksCommercial banks hold a larger percentage of government securities than any other group of financial institutions.This is partly because of regulations that limit the investment opportunities available to banks.Specifically, banks are prohibited from owning risky securities, such as stocks or corporate bonds.There are no restrictions against holding Treasury securities because of their low risk and high liquidity.Banks are also the major issuer of negotiable certificates of deposit(CDs), banker’s acceptances, and repurchase agreements.In addition to money market securities to help manage their own liquidity, many banks trade on behalf of their customers.Not all commercial banks deal for their customers in the secondary money market.The ones that do are among the largest in the country and are often referred to as money center banks.d.Businesses

Many businesses buy and sell securities in the money market.Such activity is usually limited to major corporations because of the large transactions involved.As discussed earlier, the money market is used extensively by businesses both to warehouse surplus funds and to raise short-term funds.e.Investment Companies Large diversified brokerage firms are active in money markets.The primary function of these dealers is to “make a market” for money market securities by maintaining an inventory from which to buy or sell.These firms are very important to the liquidity of the money market because they help ensure that both buyers and sellers can readily market their securities in the primary market as well as in the secondary market.f.Insurance Companies Property and casualty insurance companies must maintain liquidity because of their unpredictable need for funds.To meet this demand, the insurance companies sell some of their money market securities to raise cash.As to the life insurance companies, because their obligations are reasonably predictable, large money market security holdings are unnecessary.However, it is a common practice that an individual can have his/her money invested in the money market through the agent department of banks and investment companies, to earn a higher interest rate than otherwise deposited in the banks.9.Inter-bank Markets 銀行同業拆借市場 Inter-bank markets are money markets in which short-term funds transferred(loaned or borrowed)between financial institutions, usually for a period of one day, that is, they are usually overnight investment.The interest rate for borrowing these funds is close to, but always slightly higher than rate that is available from the central bank.10.Bank’s Acceptances 銀行承兌

A bank’s acceptance is an order to pay a specified amount of money to the bearer on a given date.Banker’s acceptances have been in use since the twelfth century, and are commonly used for international trade transactions.四、綜合運用題（共20分）
