FINC20007 Financial Market Analysis

This course discusses the practice of analysing financial markets within the framework of modern economic and finance theory. Financial institutions and their asset transformation role in financial intermediation, financial instruments and their pricing in primary and secondary markets, stock markets and share price analysis in global markets, foreign exchange quotations and dealings in integrated international markets, and forward and futures markets in financial risk management are studied with worked out examples where necessary. Selected financial market quotations from The Wall Street Journal and other financial press are used, as examples, to explain the interpretation of various financial market information frequently encountered in the real world. Approximately 40 per cent of the course content involves financial calculations, and the rest (60 per cent), analytical discussions.
