Functions of Stock Market

Listen to our Podcast: Grow your wealth and keep it secure.

0:00 / 0:00

You can do more than just buy and sell stocks on the stock market. It's more like a busy intersection where chances and money meet. On the one hand, buyers can buy or sell shares at any time and quickly turn those shares into cash. This is called liquidity. On the other hand, businesses raise money to get bigger. Along the way, the market helps set fair prices, builds trust, and even grows the economy of the country.

 

The stock market is like a computer bazaar if you think about it that way. People here don't trade grains or clothes; they trade stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and even swaps. And people buy and sell things, just like in any market. It's helpful to know what this market does before you enter it.

 

List of Well-Known Stock Exchanges

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) are the two most common names people in India use to talk about the stock market.

Exchange for the National Stock

The NSE began in 1994 and was the first company in India to offer trade through a computer screen. This change sped up, smoothed out, and made trade clearer. Another thing it did was make indices like the NIFTY 50, which buyers use to track the market. The NSE now offers a wide range of securities, providing investors with numerous options.

Stock Exchange of Bombay

There is an even older market called the BSE. It is one of the prime ones in Asia. It is an important part of India's business history. It was the first stock market in the country to go public in 2017. The first foreign exchange in India, India INX, was also set up. Traders and businesses have used the BSE for decades to raise money and do business.

Key Functions of the Stock Market

You can do more than just buy and sell stocks on the stock market. For investors and the economy, it plays many parts that matter. Let's write them out in simple terms.

Use of the Market

When new information comes out, prices in the market change very quickly. In turn, this makes businesses tell the truth, and it helps buyers figure out how much their shares are worth.

A sign of the economy

A lot of the time, the market shows how the business is doing. When share prices go up, it generally means that people are ready to spend and invest. Governments also keep an eye on this to see how healthy the economy is.

A standard for performance

Sectors like energy, farming, IT, and more show how well they do in the market. Indices like the Sensex and NIFTY help everyone see how the economy and different businesses are doing.

Control and Governance of Businesses

Having shares is more than just having a piece of a business. You may also be able to vote with it. Firms will be more responsible, and small owners will be able to have their say.

Spreading out your risks

You can put your money into a lot of different companies and businesses through the market. This way, gains in another area can make up for a loss in another.

Taking on More Risk

Traders can change their risks by buying and selling at the right times. People invest their money in a lot of different things, and as the market changes, some move their money between different stocks.

Money from dividends

Dividends are a way for many businesses to give investors a piece of their income. These are extra ways to make money on top of any gains from buying stocks.

Making Wealth

People can make more money in the stock market over time. There are many ways to get rich, such as through stocks, bonds, and investment funds.

Finding the Price

Shares are worth what people are willing to pay for them. The price goes up when more people want to buy. It goes down if more people want to sell. This process shows how much the market thinks a business is worth.

Being liquid

Liquidity is one of the key advantages of the stock market. Investors can easily exchange their shares for cash, without having to wait a long time or pay a lot of money.

Building up capital

Not only do buyers earn money. Companies can earn money too by offering their shares on the stock exchange. With this money they can hire employees and invest in new projects.

Importance of the Stock Market in the Economy

The Indian stock market is huge and it impacts the economy, as well. A simple rule that applies in the given scenario is that the rise and fall in prices of stocks in the market influence several economic factors like demand and supply, consumption, participation of investors etc. 

The changing prices of stocks in the stock market are a major reason for the volatile nature of the Indian economy. When the market is facing a bull phase, the stock prices go up thus boosting the economy’s confidence and vice-versa when the prices fall.  

Additionally, the stock market facilitates funding in different sectors of the economy that eventually impacts the overall economic health of the country. 

Conclusion

Business people, traders, and buyers all come together at the stock market. It allows businesses to get capital, it lets buyers manage risk, and it gives people an opportunity to become rich slowly. It also mirrors the health of the economy and encourages and promotes good faith and fair dealing.

By understanding these things, you can begin to think about the market as more than just numbers on your screen, whether you are new to trading or have been doing it for a while now. The market represents a living, breathing system, and the decisions you are making have an impact on the economy as a whole.
