Financial Markets

Financial markets are one type of structure through which funds flow

Financial markets can be distinguished along two dimensions:

primary versus secondary markets

money versus capital markets

4

Primary versus Secondary Markets

Primary markets

Markets in which users of funds (e.g., corporations) raise funds by issuing new financial instruments (e.g., stocks and bonds)

Secondary markets

Markets where existing financial instruments are traded among investors (e.g., exchange traded: NYSE and over-the-counter: NASDAQ)

You might also wish to mention electronic communication networks or ECNs. ECNs allow direct electronic trading among buyers and sellers without a third party. Two former ECNs, BATS (formed in 2005) and DirectEdge (formed in 1998), merged in fall 2013, and applied to become an exchange. The combined entity makes them the number two stock market ahead of NASDAQ and behind NYSE. Together the two have about 270 employees. The NYSE and NASDAQ have far more! Sign of the times.

BATS Global Markets is a stock exchange based in Lenexa, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City. BATS was founded in June 2005 as an Electronic Communication Network (ECN) and its name stands for Better Alternative Trading System.[2] (Trades stocks on BZX and options on BYX exchange.)

Primary versus Secondary Markets Concluded

How were primary markets affected by the financial crisis?

Do secondary markets add value to society or are they simply a legalized form of gambling?

How does the existence of secondary markets affect primary markets?

Primary market issuance declined sharply during the crisis, although with low interest rates bond issuance boomed after market uncertainty declined in 2010. Stock issuance remained weaker longer, recovering in 2012.

Secondary markets add liquidity for risky investments and encourage investment in primary markets. Secondary markets also aid in price discovery, providing up to date signals of the ongoing value of firms. These signals also provide benchmarks for corporate performance. It is not true that secondary markets are simply a legalized form of gambling.

Money versus Capital Markets

Money markets

Markets that trade debt securities with maturities of one year or less (e.g., CDs and U.S. Treasury bills)

little or no risk of capital loss, but low return

Capital markets

Markets that trade debt (bonds) and equity (stock) instruments with maturities of more than one year

substantial risk of capital loss, but higher promised return

Notice with the 2016 data that T-bills are now about 1/5 of total money market instruments. Banker’s Acceptances continue to be used less due to their cost and the growth of other trading arrangements. The commercial paper (cp) market collapsed during the financial crisis and has grown more slowly since. Stress that cp is an alternative to a bank loan and may provide a cheaper source of financing for large well known companies.

Many students will not be familiar with commercial paper, repurchase agreements (repos or RPs) and banker’s acceptances so it is worthwhile to discuss these briefly. In a repo one sells a security and agrees to repurchase it at maturity at a higher price that is set in the contract. A repo is best thought of as a short term collateralized loan as compared to a fed funds loan which is uncollateralized.

Banker’s Acceptances have traditionally been used to finance international trade where a bank is asked to guarantee payment on a commercial contract in case the buyer of the goods does not or cannot pay.

Text: As of mid-March 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) had fallen 53.8 percent in value in less than 1 ½ years, larger than the decline during the market crash of 1929 when it fell 49 percent. However, stock prices recovered, along with the economy, in the last half of 2009, rising 71.1 percent between March 2009 and April 2010.

Foreign Exchange (FX) Markets

FX markets

trading one currency for another (e.g., dollar for yen)

Spot FX

the immediate exchange of currencies at current exchange rates

the exchange of currencies in the future on a specific date and at a pre-specified exchange rate

Spot FX: Note that ‘immediate’ usually means delivery within one or two business days.

Derivative Security Markets

Derivative security

A financial security whose payoff is linked to (i.e., “derived” from) another, previously issued security such as a security traded in capital or foreign exchange markets

Generally an agreement to exchange a standard quantity of assets at a set price on a specific date in the future

The main purpose of the derivatives markets is to transfer risk between market participants

13

Exchange listed are more regulated, more transparent, and generally involve no default risk for the counterparty.

OTC derivatives are nonstandard, largely unregulated and may involve substantial counterparty credit risk.

Forward rate agreements are prearranged loan contracts with the loan terms set now, drawdowns in the future.

Derivatives and the Crisis

Mortgage derivatives allowed a larger amount of mortgage credit to be created in the mid-2000s.

Growing importance of ‘shadow banking system’

Mortgage derivatives spread the risk of mortgages to a broader base of investors.

Change in banking from ‘originate and hold’ loans to ‘originate and sell’ loans.

Decline in underwriting standards on loans

(Optional slide: Hide if you do not wish to cover this topic)

This helped fuel a ‘credit boom’ that led to unsustainable increases in home prices. The shadow banking system refers to non-bank FIs who indirectly provide financing for loans buy originating loans or more likely by purchasing securities backed by loans. Shadow banking allows more rapid growth in credit by increasing the supply of funds available.

When home prices began falling in late 2006, more institutions were affected.

Resulted in a change in culture at some banks as well from a lending culture to a trading culture that was less risk averse.

The instructor may wish to ask students whether it makes sense to blame the instrument or the users. Warren Buffett has called derivatives, ‘weapons of mass destruction.’ However, used properly they allow market participants to transfer risk to other parties that they themselves do not wish to bear, and allow others lower cost methods to gain exposure to markets. It does seem reasonable to require greater transparency in OTC derivatives to ensure that players can cover the promises they make. Derivatives that involve payments of principal, such as credit default swaps, should be required to be traded on an exchange so that there are guarantees of performance and reasonable limits to speculation.

Derivatives and the Crisis Continued

Subprime mortgage losses were large, reaching over $700 billion.

The “Great Recession” was the worst since the “Great Depression” of the 1930s.

Trillions $ global wealth lost, peak to trough stock prices fell over 50% in the U.S.

Lingering high unemployment and below trend growth in the U.S.

Sovereign debt levels in developed economies reached post-war all-time highs

(Optional slide: Hide if you do not wish to cover this topic)

Led to overall large declines in home prices nationwide. Houses are illiquid assets and falling home values are a drag on economic growth. Millions of homeowners are ‘underwater,’ owing more on their homes than their current market value.

Much of the wealth loss may be temporary over the long term, but growth declined at a rapid rate during the crisis. As of 2014 only now beginnin to see a return to more normal growth rates of the U.S. economy.

Financial Institutions (FIs)

Financial Institutions

Institutions through which suppliers channel money to users of funds

Financial Institutions are distinguished by:

Whether they accept insured deposits

Depository versus non-depository financial institutions

Whether they receive contractual payments from customers

17

Institutions that accept insured deposits must be regulated by the government to offset the government’s liability. Insured deposits are a low cost source of financing, but the regulatory burden increases these institution’s costs significantly.

FIs that receive contractual payments, such as life insurers, pension funds and property and casualty insurers have steady premium income to invest. This allows them to take on more risk in their investment portfolio.
