Securities market
Securities market is an economic institute within which take place sale and
purchase transactions of securities between subjects of economy on the base of
demand and supply. Also we can say that securities market is a system of
interconnection between all participants (professional and nonprofessional) that
provides effective conditions: to buy and sell securities,
18
• Insurance (hedging) of operations though securities market (options, futures,
…)
Primary market
The primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issue of
new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain
funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done
through a syndicate of securities dealers. The process of selling new issues to
investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is an
initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price
of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus. Primary markets
create long term instruments through which corporate entities borrow from capital
market.
• This is the market for new long term equity capital. The primary market is
the market where the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called
the new issue market (NIM).
• In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to
investors.
• The company receives the money and issues new security certificates to the
investors.
• Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new
business or for expanding or modernizing the existing business.
• The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital
formation in the economy.
• The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long
term external finance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the
new issue market may be raising capital for converting private capital into public
capital; this is known as "going public."
• The financial assets sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.
19
Secondary Market
The secondary market, also known as the aftermarket, is the financial market
where previously issued securities and financial instruments such as stock, bonds,
options, and futures are bought and sold. The term "secondary market" is also used
to refer to the market for any used goods or assets, or an alternative use for an
existing product or asset where the customer base is the second market (for
example, corn has been traditionally used primarily for food production and
feedstock, but a "second" or "third" market has developed for use in ethanol
production). Stock exchange and over the counter markets.
The secondary market for a variety of assets can vary from loans to stocks, from
fragmented to centralized, and from illiquid to very liquid. The major stock
exchanges are the most visible example of liquid secondary markets - in this case,
for stocks of publicly traded companies. Exchanges such as the New York Stock
Exchange, NASDAQ and the American Stock Exchange provide a centralized,
liquid secondary market for the investors who own stocks that trade on those
exchanges. Most bonds and structured products trade “over the counter,” or by
phoning the bond desk of one’s broker-dealer. Loans sometimes trade online using
a Loan Exchange.
Over-the-counter market
20
alternative disclosure guidelines through Pink OTC Markets. An over-the-counter
contract is a bilateral contract in which two parties agree on how a particular trade
or agreement is to be settled in the future. It is usually from an investment bank to
its clients directly. Forwards and swaps are prime examples of such contracts. It is
mostly done via the computer or the telephone. For derivatives, these agreements
are usually governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association
agreement.
The NYMEX has created a clearing mechanism for a slate of commonly traded
OTC energy derivatives which allows counterparties of many bilateral OTC
transactions to mutually agree to transfer the trade to ClearPort, the exchange's
clearing house, thus eliminating credit and performance risk of the initial OTC
transaction counterparts.

time (i.e. GMT +5:30) in Mumbai (Bombay), India. BSE's normal trading sessions
are on all days of the week except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays declared by the
Exchange in advance
History
The Bombay Stock Exchange is known as the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its
history to the 1850s, when 4 Gujarati and 1 Parsi stockbroker would gather under
banyan trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings
changed many times, as the number of brokers constantly increased. The group
eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an official
organization known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'. In 1956,
the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian
Government under the Securities Contracts Regulation Act. The Bombay Stock
Exchange developed the BSE Sensex in 1986, giving the BSE a means to measure
overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index to open its
derivatives market, trading Sensex futures contracts. The development of Sensex
26
options along with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the
BSE's trading platform. Historically an open outcry floor trading exchange, the
Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an electronic trading system in 1995. It took
the exchange only fifty days to make this transition. This automated, screen-based
trading platform called BSE On-line trading (BOLT) currently has a capacity of 80
lakh orders per day. The BSE has also introduced the world's first centralized
exchange-based internet trading system, BSEWEBx.co.in to enable investors
anywhere in the world to trade on the BSE platform.

BSE indices
For the premier stock exchange that pioneered the securities transaction business in
India, over a century of experience is a proud achievement. A lot has changed
since 1875 when 318 persons by paying a then princely amount of Re. 1, became
members of what today is called Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE).
Over the decades, the stock market in the country has passed through good and bad
periods. The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade
of eighties, there was no measure or scale that could precisely measure the various
ups and downs in the Indian stock market. BSE, in 1986, came out with a Stock
29
Index-SENSEX- that subsequently became the barometer of the Indian stock
market.
The values of all BSE indices are updated on real time basis during market hours
and displayed through the BOLT system, BSE website and news wire agencies.
All BSE Indices are reviewed periodically by the BSE Index Committee. This
Committee which comprises eminent independent finance professionals frames the
broad policy guidelines for the development and maintenance of all BSE indices.
The BSE Index Cell carries out the day-to-day maintenance of all indices and
conducts research on development of new indices.

33
However, on Dec 17, 2009, after strong protests from brokers, the Exchange
decided to postpone the change in trading hours till Jan 04, 2010.
NSE new market timing from Jan 04, 2010 is 9:00 am till 3:30 pm India Time.

Commodity markets
Commodity markets are markets where raw or primary products are exchanged.
These raw commodities are traded on regulated commodities exchanges, in which
they are bought and sold in standardized contracts.
This article focuses on the history and current debates regarding global commodity
markets. It covers physical product (food, metals, electricity) markets but not the
ways that services, including those of governments, nor investment, nor debt, can
be seen as a commodity. Articles on reinsurance markets, stock markets, bond
markets and currency markets cover those concerns separately and in more depth.
One focus of this article is the relationship between simple commodity money and
the more complex instruments offered in the commodity markets.
History
The modern commodity markets have their roots in the trading of agricultural
products. While wheat and corn, cattle and pigs, were widely traded using standard
instruments in the 19th century in the United States, other basic foodstuffs such as
soybeans were only added quite recently in most markets.[citation needed] For a
commodity market to be established, there must be very broad consensus on the
variations in the product that make it acceptable for one purpose or another.
Historically, dating from ancient Sumerian use of sheep or goats, other peoples
using pigs, rare seashells, or other items as commodity money, people have sought
ways to standardize and trade contracts in the delivery of such items, to render
trade itself more smooth and predictable.
Commodity money and commodity markets in a crude early form are believed to
have originated in Sumer where small baked clay tokens in the shape of sheep or
41
goats were used in trade. Sealed in clay vessels with a certain number of such
tokens, with that number written on the outside, they represented a promise to
deliver that number. This made them a form of commodity money - more than an
I.O.U. but less than a guarantee by a nation-state or bank. However, they were also
known to contain promises of time and date of delivery - this made them like a
modern futures contract. Regardless of the details, it was only possible to verify the
number of tokens inside by shaking the vessel or by breaking it, at which point the
number or terms written on the outside became subject to doubt. Eventually the
tokens disappeared, but the contracts remained on flat tablets. This represented the
first system of commodity accounting.
However, the commodity status of living things is always subject to doubt - it was
hard to validate the health or existence of sheep or goats. Excuses for non-delivery
were not unknown, and there are recovered Sumerian letters that complain of
sickly goats, sheep that had already been fleeced, etc.
If a seller's reputation was good, individual backers or bankers could decide to take
the risk of clearing a trade. The observation that trust is always required between
markets participants later led to credit money. But until relatively modern times,
communication and credit were primitive.
Classical civilizations built complex global markets trading gold or silver for
spices, cloth, wood and weapons, most of which had standards of quality and
timeliness. Considering the many hazards of climate, piracy, theft and abuse of
military fiat by rulers of kingdoms along the trade routes, it was a major focus of
these civilizations to keep markets open and trading in these scarce commodities.
Reputation and clearing became central concerns, and the states which could
handle them most effectively became very powerful empires, trusted by many
peoples to manage and mediate trade and commerce.
42
commodities derivatives trading in 2007, down from their 55% share a decade
earlier as trading in energy derivatives rose.
The 2008 global boom in commodity prices - for everything from coal to corn –
was fueled by heated demand from the likes of China and India, plus unbridled
speculation in forward markets. That bubble popped in the closing months of 2008
across the board. As a result, farmers are expected to face a sharp drop in crop
prices, after years of record revenue. Other commodities, such as steel, are also
expected to tumble due to lower demand. This will be a rare positive for
manufacturing industries, which will experience a drop in some input costs, partly
offsetting the decline in downstream demand.
Spot trading
Spot trading is any transaction where delivery either takes place immediately, or
with a minimum lag between the trade and delivery due to technical constraints.
Spot trading normally involves visual inspection of the commodity or a sample of
the commodity, and is carried out in markets such as wholesale markets.
Commodity markets, on the other hand, require the existence of agreed standards
so that trades can be made without visual inspection.
Forward contracts
Futures contracts
A futures contract has the same general features as a forward contract but is
transacted through a futures exchange.
43
Commodity and futures contracts are based on what’s termed forward contracts.
Early on these forward contracts — agreements to buy now, pay and deliver later
— were used as a way of getting products from producer to the consumer. These
typically were only for food and agricultural products. Forward contracts have
evolved and have been standardized into what we know today as futures contracts.
Although more complex today, early forward contracts for example, were used for
rice in seventeenth century Japan. Modern forward, or futures agreements, began
in Chicago in the 1840s, with the appearance of the railroads. Chicago, being
centrally located, emerged as the hub between Midwestern farmers and producers
and the east coast consumer population centers.
Hedging
Whole developing nations may be especially vulnerable, and even their currency
tends to be tied to the price of those particular commodity items until it manages to
be a fully developed nation. For example, one could see the nominally fiat money
of Cuba as being tied to sugar prices[citation needed], since a lack of hard currency
paying for sugar means less foreign goods per peso in Cuba itself. In effect, Cuba
needs a hedge against a drop in sugar prices, if it wishes to maintain a stable
quality of life for its citizens
In addition, delivery day, method of settlement and delivery point must all be
specified. Typically, trading must end two (or more) business days prior to the
delivery day, so that the routing of the shipment can be finalized via ship or rail,
and payment can be settled when the contract arrives at any delivery point.
Standardization
U.S. soybean futures, for example, are of standard grade if they are "GMO or a
mixture of GMO and Non-GMO No. 2 yellow soybeans of Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan origin produced in the U.S.A. (Non-screened, stored in silo)," and of
deliverable grade if they are "GMO or a mixture of GMO and Non-GMO No. 2
44
yellow soybeans of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin origin produced in the U.S.A.
(Non-screened, stored in silo)." Note the distinction between states, and the need to
clearly mention their status as GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) which
makes them unacceptable to most organic food buyers.
Similar specifications apply for cotton, orange juice, cocoa, sugar, wheat, corn,
barley, pork bellies, milk, feedstuffs, fruits, vegetables, other grains, other beans,
hay, other livestock, meats, poultry, eggs, or any other commodity which is so
traded.
Generally, commodities' spot and forward prices are solely dependent on the
financial return of the instrument, and do not factor into the price any societal
costs, e.g. smog, pollution, water contamination, etc. Nonetheless, new markets
and instruments have been created in order to address the external costs of using
these commodities such as man-made global warming, deforestation, and general
pollution. For instance, many utilities now trade regularly on the emissions
markets, buying and selling renewable emissions credits and emissions allowances
in order to offset the output of their generation facilities. While many have
criticized this as a band-aid solution, others point out that the utility industry is the
first to publicly address its external costs. Many industries, including the tech
industry and auto industry, have done nothing of the sort.
In the United States, the principal regulator of commodity and futures markets is
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
However, if there are two or more standards of risk or quality, as there seem to be
for electricity or soybeans, it is relatively easy to establish two different contracts
to trade in the more and less desirable deliverable separately. If the consumer
acceptance and liability problems can be solved, the product can be made
interchangeable, and trading in such units can begin.
Since the detailed concerns of industrial and consumer markets vary widely, so do
the contracts, and "grades" tend to vary significantly from country to country. A
45
proliferation of contract units, terms, and futures contracts have evolved, combined
into an extremely sophisticated range of financial instruments.
Oil
Building on the infrastructure and credit and settlement networks established for
food and precious metals, many such markets have proliferated drastically in the
late 20th century. Oil was the first form of energy so widely traded, and the
fluctuations in the oil markets are of particular political interest.
The oil market is an exception. Most markets are not so tied to the politics of
volatile regions - even natural gas tends to be more stable, as it is not traded across
oceans by tanker as extensively.
There are signs, however, that this regime is far from perfect. U.S. trade sanctions
against Canadian softwood lumber (within NAFTA) and foreign steel (except for
46
NAFTA partners Canada and Mexico) in 2002 signaled a shift in policy towards a
tougher regime perhaps more driven by political concerns - jobs, industrial policy,
even sustainable forestry and logging practices.

CONCLUSION
The report is all about the consumers behavior regarding securities market
and commodity market. The analysis shows the tendency of consumers and their
awareness regarding the securities market and commodity market.
The analysis of 60 respondents shows that the consumers are not well
aware of the securities market and commodity market. The amount of consumers
investing in share market is less and in commodity market even lesser.
In securities market risk involvement is high, securities market is
more volatile because of speculation whereas in commodity market risk
involvement is very high as all the transactions are fully futures. Delivery is on
futures.
Or it can be said, Securities market is less risky than Commodity market
as Commodities trades in futures which are a highly volatile instrument which
requires a margin of nearly 10% of the contract while in Securities one can invest
stocks and can hold it as long as he can and as much as he has the capability to buy
