"The Closing Bell"

"The Closing Bell" marks the end of the trading day on stock exchanges, signaling that the market has closed for the day. It serves as a daily checkpoint for investors and traders to review the final prices and trading volumes of stocks and securities. The term originates from the actual bell sound historically used to signal the close of trading floors, and today it is often televised or broadcasted as a key moment to assess market performance and plan future investment decisions. It provides a snapshot of the day’s market activity and helps set the tone for the next trading day.
