	Export Sector Liberalization and Forward Markets
		Marketing boards can be traced back to the colonial period, established to promote the interests of farmers, notably price stabilization and agricultural development and extension.
		Following independence, marketing boards were used by African governments to control the distribution of inputs for agriculture, to purchase farmers crops, and as instruments of political patronage.
		Established after liberalization and marketing reforms were implemented in several African countries, commodity exchanges have shown that it is possible for institutions to be designed to overcome problems of information and enforcement in the agricultural marketplace.

	CREDIT RISK
		Until your clarification arrives, Dr. Risk guesses that forward delta came up in the context of hedging an option's market risk in the forward market for the underlying, rather than the spot market.
		In such a case, the obvious definition for forward delta is the sensitivity (first derivative) of option value with respect to the forward price, rather than with respect to the underlying spot price.
		Consequently, even though in a world of non stochastic rates of interest the forward price and futures price are identical, and the first derivative of option value with respect to forward price equals that with respect to futures price, the hedge in futures contracts differs from the hedge in forward contracts.

	Pricing Georgia Farm Products Through the Futures Market
		Forward pricing (pricing before delivery) is an alternative producers should consider either to lock in acceptable profits, make management decisions, or perhaps even to secure financing.
		Perhaps the most important point to keep in mind when discussing cash contracts and the futures market is that each time a contract is offered to a producer, someone up the marketing chain is making that contract available by using the futures market.
		The reason futures markets exist is to transfer the risk of price changes from those who do not want it (hedgers) to those who want to speculate on these price changes.

	The Gold Market, Part 5
		But there are many contracts in the gold market that do not involve the spot, forward or future price of gold, but rather are simply written in terms of gold interest rates.
		It is called a "forward rate" agreement, because the interest rate applies to a gold deposit or loan starting at some time period in the future.
		For in that case the market rate paid on deposits would be higher than 1.50 percent, but the depositor would lose the difference on the FRA contract.

	Dollar scarcity hits cash market
		In order to avoid a free fall in the forward premium that had turned the cash spot premium into discount during May, the Reserve Bank of India is understood to have been aggressively intervening in the near-term forward market through "sell-buy swaps".
		The RBI is selling dollars in the spot market so as to buy it in the forward market across maturities ranging from one month to six months.
		In addition to this, the redemption of Resurgent India Bonds, due from August, is also preventing the forward premium from falling drastically as swaps are being done to meet the dollar demand.

	Gems in IB Chapter 9. The Foreign-Exchange Market (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		(267) The traditional foreign-exchange instruments that comprise the bulk of foreign-exchange trading are spot, outright forwards, and FX swaps; beginning in the 1970s, FX transactions extended to currency swaps, options, and futures; a swap, which entails both a spot and a forward transaction [i.e., a "hedge"], is usually accounted for as as single transaction.
		(269) The largest FX-trading market by far is in the UK because of London's location close to the major capital markets in Europe and because London is positioned in a unique way due to its time zone (Greenwich, Zulu) between the Asian FX markets and the American FX markets.
		(279) Of the 2000 dealer institutions worldwide that make up the FX market, around 200 are market-making banks in the sense that they are willing to quote bid and offer rates to anyone in the currencies in which they deal; dealers operate mostly in the interbank market with dealers of other banks.
