Wall Street Bull

Bronze charging sculpture

The Wall Street Bull, also called the Charging Bull, is a bronze sculpture in New York City's Financial District depicting a bull in aggressive forward motion.

It symbolizes financial optimism and market confidence—a bull market being one where prices rise.

The statue has become an iconic image of American capitalism and Wall Street itself: tourists pose with the Wall Street Bull.
