Financial markets are the cornerstone of the global economy, functioning as efficient conduits for the exchange of capital and opportunities. These markets pave the way for raising funds by connecting entities needing capital with investors and lenders willing to invest or lend money in exchange for future returns. They facilitate the free flow of capital and provide a platform for trading various financial instruments.

At the heart of financial markets lies the stock market, where shares of public companies are traded, offering investors a chance to own a slice of these companies and potentially share in their profits. Bond markets similarly match lenders to borrowers but with a focus on debt products, allowing governments and corporations to borrow by issuing bonds that investors can buy.

The foreign exchange market, or forex, allows for the conversion of currencies, which is crucial for international trade and investment. Derivatives markets offer contracts based on underlying asset value and help in hedging risk or speculating on price movements.

Efficiency, liquidity, and transparency are the hallmarks of a well-functioning financial market.
