World stock exchanges

 Here you will find an overview of the most important international stock exchanges.

There are many exchanges around the world. Many states have one or more systems for trading securities - stocks, options or other derivatives. Exchanges can be distinguished by the type of instrument traded on them, e.g. stock exchanges, futures exchanges, forex exchanges or commodity exchanges. The stock exchange can be defined as a place where supply and demand physically meet, e.g. on the New York Stock Exchange NYSE

Stock exchange - a place of trading in securities

Different classes of securities, assets are traded in many places. For example, US stocks are traded on the NYSE, while forwards are traded on special futures exchanges such as Eurex. Most trading venues are now electronic exchanges, where electronic trading takes place. Deciding which exchange to choose doesn't just depend on the type of securities you want to buy or sell. Fees, trading volume, spreads and current prices play a significant role. Price differences between exchanges, however, are minimal in these automated times.

Large international exchanges

The largest exchanges are currently located in North America and Asia. The NYSE and NASDAQ in the US often dictate the pace of world trade. When trading on international exchanges, you should look at the opening hours of the exchanges, because due to the existence of different time zones, the opening hours of individual exchanges vary significantly.
