Financial market news covers the world’s stock markets, bond markets and currency markets. The financial markets are so interrelated that what happens in one market is likely to affect the others. For this reason, it is important to follow the latest financial market news. Most of the excitement (and fear) revolves around the stock market, although increases and decreases in bond markets can be newsworthy as well. It is also helpful to remember that over long periods of time, the ups and downs of the markets tend to smooth out.
