Equity Market

The equity market, often referred to as the stock market, is a platform where shares of publicly traded companies are bought and sold. When you purchase a share, you own a small part of that company. The market allows companies to raise capital for growth by selling shares, while investors can buy shares hoping their value will increase over time. Prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, company performance, and broader economic factors. The equity market is a vital component of the economy, reflecting investor sentiment and enabling individuals to invest and build wealth.
