30、ing a single line through the center. Passage 1 The forward market also provides facilities for forward currency transactions. This is a means of enabling the importer or exporter to agree a rate of exchange, now, at which a foreign currency will be exchanged for sterling at a future date, usually o

31、ne, two, three or six months ahead but sometimes one or two years. This rate is fixed regardless of what might have happened to the rate of exchange in the meantime and is particularly useful in an era of floating, and potentially volatile, exchange rates. If, for example, a British importer of US m

32、achines which cost $ 3,000 each has to pay in one months time he may prefer to buy the currency now for actual delivery in one months time. With a current rate of $2.00 to the 1 pound the one month rate may be at a two cent premium ($1.98) or 2 cents dearer than the spot rate. These purchases will t

33、herefore cost the importer an additional 15 but at least he knows exactly how much it will cost him whatever happens to exchange rates. If the pound had been devalued or floating down during the month the cost could have horn a lot more than 15. Theoretically there are two alternatives to buying for

34、ward: 1) To buy $3,000 now at the spot rate, pay interest on any loan to pay for the purchase and invest the dollars for one month. 2) Pay the spot rate in one months time whatever the rate might be. The facility to buy or sell a currency forward, therefore, enables the importer to fix a definite pr

35、ice which will not be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Forward exchange markets were temporarily disrupted in 1974 by the collapse of a West German bank which failed to meet its foreign currency obligations. As the foreign exchange markets depend so much on confidence, this collapse led t

36、o a temporary contraction in the forward market. However, it has now regained much of the ground lost, indeed in an era of floating rates the forward market is of even more importance to traders in insuring themselves against loss through exchange rate fluctuations.How are the forward transactions m

37、ade in the forward market AWhen the dealers see marginal differences in the rate of exchange in different markets, they can buy the second currency in one market and selling in another.BMost of the dealing in the foreign exchange market is to satisfy the immediate requirements of traders.CThe dealer

38、s can close a deal by agreeing the rate of exchange in the meantime in this market and then delivery of currency is specified to take place at a future date.DThe markets respond to the normal laws of supply and demand of currency. 24.Passage 2 A guarantee is defined in the Statute of Frauds 1677 as

39、a written promise made by one person to be collaterally answerable for the debt, default, or miscarriage of another. There are therefore three parties involved in the guarantee situation, although only two are in a contractual relationship arising out of the guarantee document, the creditor and the

40、guarantor. The party who is owed the money, or whose rights are protected, is known as the creditor and the person owing him the money, or who is under an obligation to him, is called the principal debtor. The guarantor, or surety as he is sometimes called, therefore assumes a secondary liability an

41、d in effect says to the creditor: if the principal debtor does not meet his liabilities to you, then I will. There are similarities between a contract of guarantee and a contract of indemnity, but the difference is that an indemnifier assumes primary responsibility himself and in effect he says to t

42、he creditor I will see that you are paid. The distinction is important, for whereas a guarantee to be enforceable must be evidenced in writing according to the Statute of Frauds 1677, this is not the case with an indemnity and an indemnity given orally would be enforceable, although understandably i

43、t might be difficult to prove to a court that such a contract had been entered into. In point of fact, nearly all bank guarantee forms are drafted in such a way that not only do they constitute a contract of guarantee, but they are also an indemnity. The advantage of this is that it gives the bank r

44、ights against the party signing, even though the bank might find itself with no fights which it could exercise against the principal debtor, for in such circumstances a contract of guarantee alone would be unenforceable. In other words, enforcement is not dependent on the efficacy of the Contract be

45、tween the creditor and the principal debtor. Guarantees may be executed by hand or under seal, but if by hand they must be supported by consideration. The consideration usually given by a bank is of course the loan of money to the principal debtor, or the agreement to continue to allow borrowing fac

46、ilities for a further period of time._ are the parties with contractual relationship derived from the guarantee document.
