What is Market?

Basics

A place, physical or online, where buyers and sellers agree on prices for things like stocks, gold or currencies.

Think of it like: A busy bazaar where shoppers and sellers haggle until they agree on a price.
Real example: The New York Stock Exchange is a market for company shares. The forex market has no building at all: banks trade by screen.
