This subject focuses on an overview of Australian financial markets and the influence of economic developments on these markets; an understanding of which is fundamental to later Applied Finance subjects. It introduces key economic principles and provides an overview of the forces that drive economic markets, and then moves into a discussion of the different asset classes, equities, foreign exchange and commodities, derivatives, financial products, and funds management. Students follow a fictitious case study through much of the assessment, so that they may apply their understanding of the above concepts and explore a number of issues that could apply to a company after certain market events have occurred, using a realistic scenario.
