OPTIONS MARKETS

Options are financial instruments that are derivatives based on the value of underlying securities such as stocks. An options contract offers the buyer the opportunity to buy or sell depending on the type of contract they hold, the underlying asset. Unlike futures, the holder is not required to buy or sell the asset if they choose not to. Options trading may seem overwhelming at first, but it's easy to understand if you know a few key points. investor portfolios are usually constructed with several assets classes. These may be stocks, bonds, ETFs and even mutual funds. Options are another asset class and when used correctly, they offer many advantages that trading stocks and ETFs alone cannot.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET

The foreign exchange market (also known as forex, FX or the currency market) is an over-the-counter (OTC) global marketplace that determines the exchange rate for currencies around the World. Participants are able to buy, sell, exchange and speculate on currencies.

CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKETS

Cryptocurrency markets are decentralised, which means they are not issued or backed by a central authority such as a government. instead, they run across a network of computers. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies exist only as a shared digital record of ownership, stored on a blockchain.
