How do stock exchanges work?
Stock exchanges, like the NYSE, NASDAQ, and Bursa Malaysia, are venues where stocks and other securities are bought and sold. Companies list their shares on these exchanges through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Investors can then trade these shares in a secondary market.

What are emerging markets?
Emerging markets are economies that are in the process of industrialization and growth. Countries like Malaysia, Brazil, and India are considered emerging markets. These markets offer opportunities but also carry higher risks due to factors like political instability, currency volatility, and less-developed infrastructure.
How do global events impact the markets?
Global events such as elections, natural disasters, pandemics, and trade agreements can have significant effects on financial markets. These events can influence investor confidence, disrupt supply chains, and cause fluctuations in stock prices and currency values.
