A stock exchange is a financial market that acts as an intermediary between sellers and buyers to exchange securities such as stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. A stock exchange is used to provide investment opportunities to investors and to provide a platform for trading financial assets in a transparent and secure manner. The stock exchange operates on the basis of swapping securities, where their prices are determined based on supply and demand by investors. Individuals, companies and institutions can trade on the stock exchange to make profits, offering opportunities to invest their money in various assets. The stock exchange's management regulates and monitors financial activities with the aim of providing a safe and fair trading environment for all investors.
