stock exchanges

Securities trading venues

Stock exchanges are organized marketplaces where securities like stocks and bonds are bought and sold.

The New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ are the largest in the United States.

Companies list their shares on exchanges to raise capital; investors trade those shares through brokers who have access to the exchange.

The stock exchanges closed sharply down on recession fears.
