Rebirth of the Financial Overlord
Chapter 257: Interest Rate Futures
Robert John's excitement finally attracted the attention of a family of three not far away. Looking at the face that was gradually approaching, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Many times, he thought that he would hate his ex-wife again when he saw her again, but his unswerving relationship was betrayed, and he would definitely remember that pain for the rest of his life.
But suddenly, Robert John discovered that everything had dissipated with time.
The face that once made his heart move has wrinkles, and there are some spots on the flimsy skin, and the soft blond hair is also more silvery.
Time, after all, can annihilate everything.
Love or not, under the years, everything is dust.
Robert John smiled.
"It's me, Suzanne. How are you doing?"
"."
The sun was setting.
Anran Kardashian was woken up by a loud bang, waiting for her to open her eyes
Looking around in the huge bedroom, the murderous bastard didn't know where he went.
A trace of resentment could not help appearing in Kadezhan's eyes.
What a big bastard who doesn't understand pity and pity.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Before Kardashian lay down and pretended to be asleep, the closed door was pushed open from the outside.
"Baby An Ran, I have someone prepare dinner, do you need to bring it in?"
Kardashian couldn't help shaking her lips, the complacency in those eyes was really disgusting.
"Boss, as a gentleman, don't you think you should avoid it when a lady changes clothes?"
Avoid it?
Shen Jiannan blinked away, with a dazed look on his face.
I watched everything that should be seen, and did everything that should be done and should not be done, so I let him avoid it.
What the hell is going on.
woman!
What are you thinking about every day.
Shrugging helplessly, confirming Kardashian's insistence, Shen Jiannan had no choice but to back out of the room.
boom!
The door closed gently with a soft sound.
Kardashian showed a smile on her rosy face, she was really glamorous.
in the living room.
Shen Jiannan leaned on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, tapping his fingers lightly back and forth on the sofa.
In October 1990, the UK joined EMS. Since then, the European Monetary System has made the currencies of Western European countries no longer pegged to gold or the US dollar, but to each other;
Each currency is only allowed to float within a certain exchange rate range. Once the specified exchange rate fluctuation range is exceeded, the central banks of each member state are obliged to intervene in the market by buying and selling their own currencies to stabilize the currency exchange rate of the country to the specified range. within.
Within the specified floating range of exchange rates, the currencies of the member states can float relative to the currencies of other member states, and the exchange rate between the currencies of the member states is centered on the Deutsche mark, so as to get rid of the flooding of the US dollar in the European market.
But the imagination is beautiful, the reality is very skinny.
Later, the euro, known as the second largest currency, fell apart due to a global plague disaster.
In that catastrophe that shook the world, the competition and plunder, division and constraints, oppression and interests among EU member states were the most critical reasons for the collapse of the euro.
As the predecessor of the Eurosystem, EMS also faces mutual constraints brought about by the differentiation of the economic situation among member states.
In the United Kingdom and Italy, the economy has been sluggish. What the increase in unemployment requires is to cut interest rates and release reserves, forcing capital to flow into the market to promote employment and economic development.
However, due to the merger of East and West Germany, Germany's fiscal deficit has remained high, the income of the two Germanys has led to an unbalanced price, and the inflation rate has remained high. What is needed is to raise interest rates to control capital speculation.
Otherwise, it would be easy to plunge the newly merged country into division and economically induced political turmoil again.
This is a point of contradiction that cannot be reconciled at all.
Under the Maastricht Treaty signed in February, sterling and the lira must align monetary policy with economically powerful Germany.
Italy.
"hey-hey."
Shen Jiannan couldn't help laughing wickedly.
As far as the European exchange rate system is concerned, the economic power of various countries and their respective national interests are simply not consistent.
It only needs to knock on some "chains" that constitute the European exchange rate system, and the equilibrium of the chains will be broken.
Italy is a country that loses the chain at every critical moment and always enjoys it. Germany is always tough and barbaric, so it can be regarded as Italy's bloody bad luck.
But with the share of Standard Chartered shares, it is enough to borrow 500 million pounds in the UK, which is about one billion US dollars.
With such a large sum of money, if you want to maximize profits, you still have to open positions in other markets. Otherwise, international capital will definitely clear him out first.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jiannan picked up the phone and dialed again.
London International Financial Futures Exchange.
Established in September 1982, it is engaged in the trading of financial futures contracts, mainly including: 20-year British government bond interest rate, short-term government bonds, medium-term government bonds, German government bonds, 3-month Eurodollar interest rate, 3-month British pound interest rate, British pound (BP), Deutsche Mark, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen), U.S. Federal long-term government bonds, Financial Times stock price index of 100 kinds, futures and options contracts of Japanese government bonds, etc.
Currency futures traded on the exchange include sterling, Swiss franc, deutsche mark and yen futures settled in U.S. dollars and U.S. dollar futures settled in deutsche marks;
Interest rate futures include various UK Treasury bill futures, US Treasury bill futures, Japanese Treasury bill futures, 3-month Eurodollar time deposit futures and 3-month British pound interest rate futures.
It can be said that global standardized financial products can be traded on the London International Financial Futures Exchange.
The thirteenth floor of the Exchange Building.
William was sitting on a recliner in the office, playing an unspeakable little game with an English girl in her twenties.
Hattie Morahan, fourteen years old, a middle school student at Dwight Middle School.
She has blond hair and blue eyes, and has an exquisite figure. Except for being a little thin, it is completely impossible to tell that she is only fourteen years old.
It has to be said that William's psychology is a little twisted.
When he was a child in Hong Kong, he was often bullied and bullied by some British people. When he was in junior high school, he met an Englishman who was drunk on the street again, and almost beat him to a disability. In the end, it cost him a thousand Hong Kong dollars. Of.
The so-called rule of law, it can be said, is only valid for Hong Kong people, not for British people.
It's different now.
In London, a city where capital is everything, there is nothing money can't solve.
woo woo——
Under William's distorted psychology, Hattie Morahan kept whimpering, as if she was expressing her powerlessness and pain, but William had no mercy and allowed her to cry out in embarrassment and anger.
Since arriving in the UK, this guy has been insane. He has to play with different British girls every day, as if he wants to wash away the humiliation and beatings he has suffered.
ding ding ding——
The mobile phone I was carrying with me suddenly rang.
William made a hush gesture towards Hatty Morahan, picked up the phone and pressed the call button.
"William. What's the difference between girls in London and girls in Singapore?"
"I feel very good. The complexion is delicate and the figure is good. They are all golden in color, and they can speak English. The most important thing is that they are very well-behaved. They even shout in English."
"."
Two scumbags, talking about their attitudes towards women.
They smiled knowingly at each other, indescribably dirty and wretched.
a long time.
Shen Jiannan mentioned the business.
"How short we are on the pound right now."
"About thirty million pounds."
Shen Jiannan was speechless for a while.
I want to say something, but I don't know what to say for a while.
With this size of position, how much money can you make.
But Shen Jiannan also knew that William couldn't be blamed for this. Although the London International Futures Exchange is the largest futures exchange in Europe, it is incomparable with the later market size. With a daily trading volume of 30 million pounds, the positions that can be taken are very limited.
Shen Jiannan remained silent, William stroked Hatty Morahan's hair with his hands, and with a jolt, the servant asked.
"Boss, is there a problem?"
“We need to build up more position sizes, and in addition to accelerating the build-up of short positions in sterling, we have also started building positions in interest rate futures.”
The so-called interest rate futures first appeared because of the lending rate.
Government fiscal policy, monetary policy, inflation, national production and income, national demand for cars and houses, etc. will all affect bank interest rate fluctuations.
Interest rate fluctuations make both borrowers and lenders in the financial market face interest rate risks. In order to avoid or reduce interest rate risks, interest rate futures are produced.
Of course, interest rate futures are also a type of futures, and they are standardized contract transactions in the form of margin trading.
The decisions of Germany and the United Kingdom cannot be changed by manpower. Under irreconcilable factors, Germany will definitely raise interest rates to curb inflation, and the United Kingdom can only cut interest rates and inject more currency to cope with the continuous increase in unemployment in the country.
There is no possibility of coordination between the two.
However, the reserves in the financial market are limited after all. The market turnover of foreign exchange futures alone cannot accommodate too much funds. Interest rate futures undoubtedly equals an extra choice.
"Boss. Are you sure?"
"Well. With the current economic environment in the UK, it is impossible to support the possibility of raising interest rates. Only by lowering interest rates to release currency circulation can the UK get out of the current predicament. Italy is in the same situation as the UK. It is only possible to cut interest rates, but it is impossible to raise interest rates."
