A financial market is a mechanism which allows buyers and sellers to find each other and create or exchange financial instruments and assets. In many cases it is a place where people trade money for securities (eg, shares or bonds) or commodities such as gold or other precious metals.
A market can be in a physical place, but often it exists as a virtual network of buyers and sellers (individuals and organisations) who are dispersed all over the world and communicate over long distances.
