A market is simply a place where buyers and sellers gather to
trade and exchange goods, buying and selling for any number of
reasons across all types of instruments (for instance, stocks,
currencies, commodities, and so on).
Markets perform the essential role of exchange. The New York Stock Exchange and the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
(NASDAQ) are two exchanges. There are also futures exchanges,
such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. All of these exchanges have many markets where traders can buy and sell whatever they want.
