Public Markets

Public markets are platforms where investors can buy and sell securities like stocks and bonds that are publicly traded. They provide companies with access to capital by issuing shares to the public, and they allow investors to buy or sell these securities easily and transparently. Examples include stock exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ. These markets operate based on supply and demand, with prices fluctuating throughout the trading day. Public markets play a vital role in the economy by enabling liquidity, price discovery, and broad participation in financial growth opportunities.
