    Markets allow parties to exchange goods, services, and labor for money. Most rely on sellers offering their goods or services in exchange for money from buyers, and markets establish the prices of goods and services through this process. Financial markets facilitate the exchange of liquid assets, with most investors preferring stock markets, which trade equity ownership in companies, and bond markets, which trade debt.

    A market is one of many varieties of systems, institutions, procedures, social relations and infrastructures whereby parties engage in exchange.

    While parties may exchange goods and services by barter, most markets rely on sellers offering their goods or services (including labor) in exchange for money from buyers. It can be said that a market is the process by which the prices of goods and services are established.

    Financial markets
    Financial markets facilitate the exchange of liquid assets. Most investors prefer investing in two markets, the stock markets and the bond markets. NYSE, AMEX, and the NASDAQ are the most common stock markets in the US. Futures markets, where contracts are exchanged regarding the future delivery of goods are often an outgrowth of general commodity markets. Currency markets are used to trade one currency for another, and are often used for speculation on currency exchange rates. The money market is the name for the global market for lending and borrowing.
