  LBC Radio's Dawn Traders programme provides the City's international traders with a review of what has been happening in the world's markets through the night. Many of the reports are compiled by Robin Amlot, who in this book makes his expertise available to the layman. He begins with an overview of the history and functions of equities, bonds, foreign exchange, futures and the markets in which they are traded, the institutions that participate and their regulators, and the roles of central banks and governments in the functioning of the markets. Proceeding to a detailed city-by-city guide to the world's major markets, he covers New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London and others, including the developing systems in Eastern Europe, South-East Asia and Latin America. The book is intended for students of business and economics, journalists and anyone working in the financial sector who is looking for an introduction to the 24-hour global market-place.
