The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a global decentralized market for the trading of currencies.

This includes all aspects of buying, selling and exchanging currencies at current or determined prices.

In terms of volume of trading, it is by far the largest market in the world, followed by the Credit market.

The main participants in this market are the larger international banks.

Financial centres around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of multiple types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with the exception of weekends.

The foreign exchange market does not determine the relative values of different currencies, but sets the current market price of the value of one currency as demanded against another.

A stock index or stock market index is a measurement of the value of a section of the stock market.

It is computed from the prices of selected stocks (typically a weighted average).

It is a tool used by investors and financial managers to describe the market, and to compare the return on specific investments.

In finance, a contract for difference (CFD) is a contract between two parties, typically described as "buyer" and "seller", stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time (if the difference is negative, then the buyer pays instead to the seller).

In effect CFDs are financial derivatives that allow traders to take advantage of prices moving up (long positions) or prices moving down (short positions) on underlying financial instruments and are often used to speculate on those markets.

The stock (also capital stock) of a corporation is constituted of the equity stock of its owners.

A single share of the stock represents fractional ownership of the corporation in proportion to the total number of shares.

In liquidation, the stock represents the residual assets of the company that would be due to stockholders after discharge of all senior claims such as secured and unsecured debt.

Stockholders' equity cannot be withdrawn from the company in a way that is intended to be detrimental to the company's creditors.
