FICC (Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities)

FICC stands for Fixed Income, Currencies, and Commodities. It refers to a segment of the financial markets where traders and investors buy and sell assets like government and corporate bonds (fixed income), foreign currencies (currencies), and raw materials like oil, gold, or agricultural products (commodities). This area helps businesses and governments raise funds, hedge against risks, and manage currency or price fluctuations. FICC trading involves complex analysis but plays a key role in stabilizing and facilitating global financial and trade activities.
