bourses
European stock markets
Bourses is the plural of bourse, a European stock exchange or financial market.
The term comes from French and appears most often in international finance contexts: Asian markets rallied while European bourses remained flat.
In American usage, bourse sounds slightly formal or foreign compared to simply saying exchanges or markets.
