Developing futures contract proposals: Researching for new contracts

The bound folders lie side-by-side on a shelf in the research department of the Chicago Board of Trade. In the binders are proposed futures contracts. Bland reading, often quasi-legal boilerplate. But buried in the economic justifications, contract specifications and other mundane chapters, there may be the gleam of a nugget to dazzle and delight the world's financial community.

This year's best deals in the Euromarkets.

The best deals of the last twelve months are a diverse bunch. They include Euroequities, property-linked securities, convertible bonds and even good old-fashioned syndicated loans. None is particularly flashy or innovative but they share certain features which guarantee success: all hit an unexplored niche in the market, all pleased both borrower and investors, and all earned substantial profits and prestige for their creators.

Rush to join the Fed club. (foreign participants in the U.S.Treasury market)

The best financial club in the world is breaking up. The 35 dealers in US Government securities are bracing themselves against a jostling rush of new, often foreign, members into their market. Election to the club is practically a formality even though several of the club's senior members-- Goldman Sachs, First Boston, Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette, Salomon Brothers and Citicorp--have already been upset by the exuberance of the Japanese applicants queuing at the door of the New York Fed.

Train of the lawless (The illegality of leaving Italy with Italian currency)

The clerks and typists of Milan pause on their way to lunch, and look at the bank windows in the Piazza Cordusio. They watch the screens that (in one window) tell them the state of their shares and (in the next window) their bonds. Round the corner, more sophisticated onlookers are studying the options market.
