Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / contango and repurchase agreements | | Italian term or phrase: riporti attivi e passivi + pronto contro termini attivi e passivi | | We\'re talking about contango and repo agreements, but my problem is how to express attivi and passivi (and I don\'t want to use active and passive). |
| | | positive and negative contangos + spot against positive and negative futures | Explanation:
Also see Dizionario Garzanti: riporto con deporto, passivo = backwardation, making me surmise that the sing. form with attivo is the translators' bugbear: 'forwardation'.
Quaere: backwardated and forwardated contagos?
'... is renewed, there is actually an interest rate risk, since *backwardation* or when
short rates are higher than long rates might occur (*negative contango*). ...'
