6、 debt burden. at that time my funds borrowed yen and loan companies are all converted from yen into u.s. dollars (at the time companies need u.s. dollars), enterprise eventually, even further back to u.s. dollars with interest, my country at the time the case of the weak dollar would also like to tu

7、rn back the yen the dollar will recover the debt, which undoubtedly greatly increased the debt burden. this enterprise is often encountered. for example, companies have a low-interest yen loans, the future will have the dollars of income for loan repayment, while the yen the dollar will have a downt

8、urn. if this derivative financial instruments used for risk prevention does not increase the debt burden. the simplest, in order to prevent the depreciation of the dollar recovered soon able to sign the forward foreign exchange contracts to sell u.s. dollars to do a buy yen forward foreign exchange

9、transactions, so that can determine the balance of payments, subject to exchange rate movements against the impact. raising funds in international financial markets will always experience an increase due to exchange rate fluctuations in the real debt burden, the risk of another way to hedge is the u

15、 high. at this point, banks can issue samurai bonds in japan (in yen-denominated foreign bonds), followed by japanese yen and u.s. dollars through currency swaps to obtain the required final euro-dollar. in this indirect way, business is very flexible and not set foot in the capital markets have gai

16、ned cost advantages in funds. enterprises can significantly reduce financing costs, mostly due to the use of financial swaps, while the financial swaps to a significant reduction in financing costs that no other derivative financial instruments do not have the advantage swap market is known as the b

18、ement. at that time most of ibms assets to the dollar in order to avoid exchange rate risks, hoping its liabilities for u.s. dollars with symmetry; the other hand, the world bank hopes to swiss francs or deutsche mark, the lowest rate of such absolute liability management currency . meanwhile, the w

19、orld bank and ibm companies in different markets have a comparative advantage, the world bank financing through the issuance of dollar bonds in europe, the cost of raising u.s. dollars lower than ibms cost of funds; ibms financing through the issuance of swiss franc bonds, the cost is also lower tha

20、n the world banks financing of swiss francs in costs. as a result, brokered by salomon brothers, the world bank issued 2.9 billion of its euro-dollar bonds and ibms equivalent of the deutsche mark, swiss franc bonds swap, each reached a lower funding costs. according to european currencies magazine

24、 corporation and the world bank on their capital structure to achieve the purpose of the adjustment. the world bank in europe, euro-dollar bond market to raise capital financing costs are lower than ibm, but ibms swiss franc bond issue less than the cost of financing the world bank. at the same time

25、, ibm expects to increase in dollar liabilities to their u.s. dollar assets symmetry, in order to avoid exchange rate losses. the world bank, swiss francs or deutsche mark, the need for liability management. two in their proper place just from the exchange, have achieved the purpose of adjusting the

29、 gives companies willing to take risks with a good profit opportunities. the easiest way is to obtain the risk premium to buy low sell high, this is the way of any speculative nature. taking the financial futures, for example, a financial futures speculators forecast prices will rise on buying in th

30、e future, and so the price is really up on the throw; or bearish forecast of a financial futures prices before selling, so prices fall and buy income, for liquidation, which is spread arbitrage. in the same futures market can also use the same commodity but different delivery month futures price cha

31、nges in the difference between the hedging profit, or use two different but related commodities to arbitrage trading between the spread. if an enterprise well-informed can also use the same commodity futures exchange in different spreads taking profits to cross-market arbitrage. all derivative finan
