Companies list their shares to raise capital, while investors participate to generate wealth. Stock prices fluctuate based on demand-supply dynamics, corporate performance, economic conditions, and global market trends. The market offers various investment opportunities across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks, attracting traders and long-term investors looking to capitalise on market movements.

Equity market – Includes the Primary market (IPOs and new share issuance) and Secondary market (buying and selling of existing stocks).
Derivative market – Involves futures and options trading, helping investors hedge risks and speculate on price movements.
Commodity market – Facilitates trading of commodities like gold, crude oil, and agricultural products through MCX and NCDEX.
Currency market – Allows forex trading in currency pairs such as USD/INR and EUR/INR for hedging against currency fluctuations.
Debt market – Involves government and corporate bonds, suitable for risk-averse investors seeking stable returns.

Each of these markets plays a crucial role in India’s financial ecosystem, enabling diversification and strategic investment planning.
