Here is an overview of the stock market

Before we get into the stock market discussion, are we going to describe what a stock is? A share is a part of the property of the company. By owning stock in a company, you become a shareholder in the company who has a specific right to the company's earnings and wins voting rights at the annual general meeting of shareholders to decide on the management of the company. By issuing shares, companies get market capital that they can use to expand their business. Start-ups can also issue shares called IPOs or Initial Public Offerings to raise funds to start the business. To issue shares, a company needs to be listed in a market and there are certain criteria that must be met in order to list in the stock market.

What are the functions of the market? The main function of the market is to provide a common platform for companies and traders. Companies can issue shares to raise money through the market. Traders if buyers and sellers can trade those shares on the stock market at an agreed price. Of course, this is the basic function of the stock market and there are also other functions that the stock market performs. The stock market also provides information for traders, companies, brokers and analysts on the rise and fall of prices, trading volume and many other factors that control the ups and downs of the stock market.

How prices in the stock market rise and fall: the offer price is the price at which a buyer is willing to buy the shares. That means if you are selling those shares, you will get that price when you sell them on the market. On the other hand, a sale price is the price at which a seller is ready to sell his shares. That means that, as a buyer, you have to pay that price to buy the stock. The difference between the offer price and the purchase price is called the spread. The bigger the spread, the more active on the market. Demand is generally considered to be the determining factor for the share price. When the demand for a particular stock is high, the price of that stock is on the rise. Higher demand for stocks means that there are more buyers in the market than the number of sellers in the market. But when there is more seller than buyer of shares in the stock market, that is, when the demand for a share is falling, the price of that share also falls in the market. Of course, there are so many factors that are crucial to the rise and fall of demand for a particular stock.

Price control factors: As we have already mentioned, there are many factors that control the price of shares in the market. Mainly it is the performance of the company in recent times and the future of the company in the current context that has a direct influence on demand and, subsequently, on stock prices. In addition to the prevailing market trend, the trend of the sector to which it belongs also controls the price of a share.
