denn zu gering sind meine Kenntnisse über Futures. Doch gebe ich zu bedenken, dass sich die ursprüngliche Diskussion sich auf den Ölpreis und die Anhebung der Einschüsse bezog. Dann sind es wohl doch die CFDs über die Bernecker spricht und nicht Futures im Sinne eines Absicherungsgeschäftes oder?
Genau genommen sind CFDs nichts anderes als Futures, nur eben mit einer offenem Laufzeit.
Doch egal was der Bernecker erzählt, Du hast das ganz wunderbar erklärt und nun bin ich schlauer, nach diesem Futures-Nachhilfekurs.

U.S. Pressures China Over Currency 2 hours, 18 minutes ago Business - AP By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is trying to step up pressure on China to overhaul a currency system that American manufacturers contend gives Chinese companies a huge competitive advantage.
The administration was heading Friday into a second day of talks with a high-level delegation of Chinese officials. Several members of Congress say the Chinese are dragging their feet and they believe it is time to file an unfair trade case. The dispute involves China's system of pegging the value of its currency, the yuan, tightly to the U.S. dollar. American manufacturers say that practice keeps the yuan undervalued by as much as 40 percent, giving Chinese companies a huge price advantage over American products. Treasury Secretary John Snow and Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Chairman Alan Greenspan (news - web sites) began talks Thursday with a group of Chinese officials led by Finance Minister Jin Renqing. U.S. officials were to be joined Friday night at a dinner where the Chinese will be special guests of the Group of Seven leading industrial countries ? the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Canada. It will the first time China has attended a G-7 meeting and it could mark the beginning of a process in which China is eventually admitted to the group or at least the expanded Group of Eight, which also includes Russia. However, a group of eight senators and 22 House members complained Thursday that China should be forced to immediately stop manipulating its currency to gain trade advantages. They called on the administration to bring a case against China before the World Trade Organization (news - web sites), which could lead to trade sanctions against Chinese goods.
Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., said the administration's attempts to use quiet diplomacy have proved to be a failure and tougher action was required. "It is time to bring out the big stick and enforce U.S. trade laws," Schumer said. The lawmakers pointed to a U.S. trade deficit with China which hit $124 billion last year, the highest ever recorded with any country, and is running at an even higher annual rate above $140 billion this year. Rep. Sander Levin (news, bio, voting record), D-Mich., said China's currency system was "literally shutting down family businesses that have been employing people for generations." The issue has also arisen in the presidential campaign. Democratic candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) charges that the Bush administration has failed to do enough to attack China and other sources of unfair foreign competition at a time when the country has seen the loss of nearly 2 million manufacturing jobs. However, Snow spokesman Rob Nichols said the administration believes China has taken a number of positive steps in the past year to prepare its economy for a floating exchange rate. Chinese officials have said their goal is to allow the yuan's value to be set in open markets, but it needs time to make sure that a floating currency does not destabilize its economy. China was just one of the issues on the agenda for Friday's meeting of G-7 finance ministers and central bank presidents. The group was also going over the topics that will be taken up at the weekend meetings of the 184-nation International Monetary Fund (news - web sites) and its sister lending agency, the World Bank (news - web sites). Those talks were expected to focus on such topics as helping war-torn Iraq (news - web sites) rebuild and providing greater debt relief to the world's poorest countries. In a speech Thursday, Snow called for significantly expanded debt relief for poor nations and said the World Bank should focus more on grants, which do not have to be repaid, rather than loans. While Snow did not provide any details, international debt relief groups said the United States is pushing a proposal that would drop requirements for the world's poorest nations to repay loans. But they said the U.S. proposal does not specifically provide for greater resources to pay for the debt relief. By contrast, a proposal unveiled this week by British Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown would have a portion of the debt relief paid through revaluing IMF (news - web sites)'s massive gold reserves and by individual contributions from rich countries. The finance meetings, scheduled to run from Friday through Sunday, were being held under heavy security following the revelation in August that both the IMF and World Bank headquarters were on a list of terrorist targets.
