The secondary market provides liquidity, enabling investors to convert securities into cash quickly. Unlike the primary market, transactions occur between investors, so the issuing company doesn't receive proceeds from these sales.

For example, after Tech Innovations Inc. issues shares through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the primary market, these shares are traded among investors on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Factors such as company performance, economic conditions, and investor sentiment influence the value of these shares.

Stock exchanges like the NYSE ensure a regulated and secure environment for these transactions. The dynamic pricing in the secondary market reflects supply and demand forces, causing the market values of securities to fluctuate in real time.

Overall, the secondary market, a cornerstone of the capital market, supports the continuous trade of securities, helps establish accurate market prices, and allows investors to manage their portfolios efficiently.
