The secondary market is a financial platform where investors buy and sell securities previously issued in the primary market.

It enables trading existing securities among investors, providing liquidity and dynamic pricing for these securities.

For example, after Salt Corporation issues shares in the primary market through an Initial Public Offering, those shares can now be traded among investors on the stock exchange. This is a part of the secondary market.

Here, the company does not receive any proceeds from the sales as the transactions occur between investors.

A stock exchange, like the NASDAQ, provides a regulated and secure environment for these transactions.

In the secondary market, the forces of supply and demand of securities determine their market value. This is known as dynamic pricing.

Factors like company performance, economic indicators, and investor sentiment influence the secondary markets.

These markets are essential for the smooth operation of capital markets as they set prices for a company's stocks and make it easier for investors to buy and sell them.
