A stock market, equity market, or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers of stocks (also called shares), which represent ownership claims on businesses;
these may include securities listed on a public stock exchange, as well as stock that is only traded privately, such as shares of private companies which are sold to investors through equity crowdfunding platforms.
Trade in stock markets means the transfer (in exchange for money) of a stock or security from a seller to a buyer. This requires these two parties to agree on a price.
Equities (stocks or shares) confer an ownership interest in a particular company. Participants in the stock market range from small individual stock investors to larger investors,
who can be based anywhere in the world, and may include banks, insurance companies, pension funds and hedge funds. Their buy or sell orders may be executed on their behalf by a stock exchange trader.
Lest's start to short description Recent top news in the world about stock market
Some notable moves here NASDAQ up about 7.5%, the S&P 500 up close to 5%. And even we've seen that risk on tone go back to some of these very risky meme stock names, like a GameStop and AMC, both with double-digit gains so far in July.
So what in the world is going on here? A couple of things I cooked up here. One, you saw the Fed really push back a 100 basis point rate hike. And ever since they made that or did that push back a couple of weeks ago, that lit a fire under stocks.
Next up, a lot of data hasn't been great, the economic data. But a lot of strategists are viewing this as no signs of a deep recession yet. Check, done, market likes to see that.
Next, easing price pressures. You go back to that Philly Fed report manufacturing report from last week, prices paid down for three consecutive months. Market like to see that.
And then so far, no real earnings per share disasters, outside of course, Snap. That was a full on disaster. And maybe we'll get some more this week.
But so far, we haven't seen that report, that really brutal, ugly, really bad report. And I'll add Weber there in this morning, that wasn't good. But by and large, I haven't seen that so far in July. - finance.yahoo
Kevin Hassett, former Council of Economic Advisers chairman under President Donald Trump, joins CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box’ ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting to discuss his expectations on potential rate hikes, inflation, and more. - CNBC
Jim Cramer on Monday told investors that the Federal Reserve’s actions this week could lead to a bull market. “If [Fed Chair] Jerome Powell says, ‘we’re getting a 75 basis point rate hike and then we’ll see what happens’ then you might get a rip-snorting rally,” the “Mad Money” host said.
“On the other hand, if he says we’re doing the triple-rate hike and then we’re willing to keep tightening no matter what, including a possible inter-meeting hike if the CPI stays hot, then we are definitely going lower,” he added, referring to June’s hotter-than expected 9.1% inflation reading.
The Federal Reserve will conclude its two-day meeting on Wednesday, and many analysts expect a 75 basis point rate hike. Cramer also previewed this week’s slate of earnings. All earnings and revenue estimates are courtesy of FactSet. - CNBC
