The stock market is a collection of markets and exchanges where activities of buying, selling, and issuing shares of publicly traded companies take place. It serves as a platform for investors to trade equity securities and provides companies with access to capital by enabling them to raise funds through the sale of shares. The stock market is characterized by various indices, which track the performance of specific groups of stocks, and operates through two main parts: the primary market, where new issues of stocks are offered, and the secondary market, where existing shares are traded among investors. The stock market is influenced by economic factors, investor sentiments, and market trends, making it a vital component of the global economy. It plays a crucial role in wealth generation and investment strategy for individuals and institutions.
