Guide to Financial Markets

The Guide to Financial Markets is a highly-regarded book that brings the reader right up to speed with the latest financial market developments. It provides a clear and incisive guide to a complex world that even those who work in it often find hard to understand. This handbook deals with money, foreign exchange, equities, bonds, commodities, financial futures, options, and other derivatives. It examines why these markets exist, how they work, and who trades in them and gives a run-down of the factors that affect prices and rates.
