There are several types of financial markets, each dealing with different types of assets:

• Stock Market: Where shares of companies are bought and sold.

• Bond Market: Where bonds are traded. Bonds are loans made to companies or governments in exchange for regular interest payments.

• Commodity Market: This is where physical goods like gold, silver, oil, or agricultural products are bought and sold.

• Forex Market: This is the largest financial market, where currencies like the rupee, dollar, or euro are traded.

• Derivatives Market: Where contracts (like futures and options) are traded. These contracts derive their value from other financial assets, like stocks or bonds.

Each market serves a different purpose but is vital to the overall financial system.
