Financial Market

A financial market is a platform where individuals, companies, and institutions buy and sell financial assets like stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. It facilitates raising capital, investing, and managing risk, helping allocate resources efficiently across the economy. These markets can be physical locations, like stock exchanges, or electronic systems that connect buyers and sellers worldwide. By providing liquidity and price discovery, financial markets enable participants to transfer risks, diversify investments, and support economic growth. They are essential for the functioning of modern economies, balancing supply and demand for various financial instruments.
