capital market
Long-term finance arena
A capital market is where buyers and sellers trade financial securities—stocks, bonds, and other long-term investments.
Unlike money markets, which handle short-term debt, capital markets channel savings into long-term productive use: Companies raise funds in capital markets by issuing shares.
Stock exchanges and bond markets are the primary examples.
