A financial market is a place where investors and issuers of financial instruments meet to trade various assets. This market facilitates the trading of stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and other financial products. Financial markets can be divided into capital markets, where stocks and bonds are traded, and money markets, where short-term securities and liquid assets are traded. The financial market plays a key role in the economy by enabling capital allocation, setting asset prices, and ensuring liquidity, which contributes to the efficient functioning of the economy.
