Besides a current or spot price for
currencies (or monies) and spot markets, there are futures markets, where
futures ( or forward) prices are determined by buying and selling futures
contracts. Also, a large volume of forward contracts is made directly between
participants in the foreign exchange markets. Spot transactions require the
exchange of deposits by two days after the date of the contract. Forward
transactions require an exchange of deposits at specified longer maturities on
the forward contract. There are standardized maturities of three months, six
months, and one year, and on major currencies, longer contracts are sometimes
available. Banks, acting as financial intermediaries, make available forward
contracts tailored exactly to their customers needs, such as 46-day
maturity. If the spot price is below the forward price, the
currency is said to be at a forward premium. If the spot price is above the
forward price, the currency is said to be at a forward discount.
Both spot and forward markets for currencies are subject to control and
intervention by governments. The governments may step in to support their
domestic currency by buying it. They may impose exchange controls on the
repatriation of profits or interest payments. The risk of loss in forward
contracts because of these latter controls can be called sovereign risk. Thus
spot and forward markets can suffer from imperfections. The
evidence, however, generally tends to support the hypothesis that these markets
are approximately efficient, especially the offshore foreign exchange markets
that are free of government controls.
单选题A credit card is a plastic card (or its equivalent) to be used upon presentation by the cardholder to obtain money, goods, or services, possibly under a line of credit established by the card issuer. The cardholder is billed for any outstanding balance. Credit card customers are given a credit limit on the credit card account and can buy goods and services up to this amount. Normally, banks will set different credit lines to the different groups of cardholders. Every time cardholder uses a credit card for purchasing, he/she must sign a sales slip in the presence of the seller, and the signature is then compared to the signature on the card. Copies of the sales slips have the details of the card and they also show the details and amount of the sale. Each month the cardholder receives a statement from the bank which details all the trans- actions in the month, together with the total amount outstanding and any minimum amount that needs to be paid. When the full balance is not settled each month, the cardholder is charged a compound interest ( say 0. 05% ) on the outstanding balance , and this is supposed to provide the bank with a main source of income ( although in China , this revenue is still low because people are reluctant to run into debt) . Other two major sources of credit card services are the annual fee from the cardholders and the percentage of the sales revenue as the commission paid by the seller.
