Financial market such as stock market and bond ma
5、rket are important in channeling funds from people who do not have a productive use for them to those who do, a process that results in greater economic efficiency. Activities in financial market also have direct effects on personal wealth, the behavior of businesses and consumers, and the overall p
6、erformance of the economy.（一）债券市场(The Band Market and Interest Rates)A security (also called a financial instrument) is a claim on the issuers future income or assets (any financial claim or piece of property that is subject to ownership). A bond is a debts security that promises to make payments pe
7、riodically for a specified period of time. The bond market is especially important to economic activities and because it enable corporations or governments to borrow to finance their activities and because it is where interest rates are determined. An interest rate is the cost of borrowing or the pr
8、ice paid for the rental of funds. There are many interest rates in the economymortgage interest rate, car loan rate, and interest rates on many different types of bonds.Because different interest rates have a tendency to move in unison, economists frequently lump interest rates together and refer to
9、 “the” interest rate.（二）股票市场(The Stock Market)A stock represents a share of ownership in a corporation. It is a security that is a claim on the earnings and assets of the corporation. Issuing stock and selling it to the public is a way for corporations to raise funds to finance their activities. The
10、 stock market, in which claims on the earnings of corporations (shares of stock) are traded, is the most widely followed financial market in America (thats why it is often called simply “the market”). A big swing in the prices of shares in the stock market is always a big story on the evening news.
11、People often express their opinion on where the market is heading and frequently tell you about their latest “big killing”(although you seldom hear about their latest “big loss”!). The attention the market receives can probably be best explained by one simple fact: It is a place where people can get
12、 rich quickly.The stock market is also an important factor in business investment decisions because the price of shares affects the amount of funds that can be raised by selling newly issued stock to finance investment spending. A higher price for a firms shares means that is it can raise a large am

14、g to (say, U.S. dollars). The foreign exchange market is where this conversion takes place, and so it is instrumental in moving funds between countries. It is also important because it is where the foreign exchange rate, the price of one countrys currency in terms of anothers, is determined.What hav

16、cluding banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, financial companies, and investment banks, all of which are heavily regulated by the government. If an individual wanted to make a loan to IBM or GM, for example, they would not go directly to the president of the company and offer a loan. Instead, they would lend to such companies in directly through financial intermediaries, institutions that borrow funds from people who have saved and i
