🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Financial Market: A marketplace where buyers and sellers trade financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, derivatives, and currencies.

  • Capital Market: A segment of the financial market dealing with the trading of long-term securities like stocks and bonds, facilitating companies' and governments' capital raising for extended periods.

  • Money Market: A segment focused on short-term debt instruments (maturities of one year or less), such as Treasury bills and commercial paper, providing liquidity and short-term funding.

  • Derivatives Market: Markets where derivative contracts (options, futures, swaps) are traded, with their value derived from underlying assets like stocks, commodities, or currencies.

  • Foreign Exchange Market (Forex): The global marketplace for buying and selling currencies, essential for international trade and investment, operating 24 hours.
