Translate into English making use if prompts in the box Рынки сырьевых товаров
Торговля сырьевыми товарами, такими, как зерно, кофе, хлопок, шерсть, обычно ведется на товарной бирже. Сырьевые товары можно купить или продать на условиях немедленной оплаты и поставки или на условиях поставки в оговоренную дату (срок) в будущем (на условиях срочной поставки).
В первом случае биржевые маклеры продают и покупают наличные (реальные) товары, а сам товарный рынок называется “рынок наличных товаров”. Во втором случае биржевые маклеры продают и покупают товары, которые должны поставляться по срочным контрактам, а сам товарный рынок называется рынком по сделкам на срок. На “срочном рынке” маклеры могут воспользоваться правом (опционом) на продажу или покупку биржевого товара в будущем в фиксированных объемах по определенным ценам. Опцион на продажу называется опционом “пут”, а опцион на покупку - опционом “колл”. Маклеры знают, что цены могут меняться, поэтому они защищают себя от возможных убытков, используя механизм “опциона”.
