International Financial Markets

International financial markets are platforms where currencies, stocks, bonds, and commodities are traded across borders. They connect buyers and sellers from around the world, allowing for the exchange of money and investment. These markets play a crucial role in global economics by facilitating trade, enabling countries to invest in each other's economies, and helping businesses to raise capital. Key players include governments, banks, financial institutions, and individual investors. The performance of these markets is influenced by factors like economic conditions, interest rates, and geopolitical events, reflecting the interconnected nature of the global economy.
