The correct answer is letter "E": It involves trade of financial assets.

Explanation:

The current account shows the difference between savings and assets in a country. The three components of the current account are the sum of the balance of trade - goods and services exports minus imports, net income from abroad, and net current transfers. Looking at the current account of a country, we will figure out how a nation is doing, economically speaking.

Therefore, the current account does not consider the trading of financial assets.
