How does the stock market work?

Share trading majorly takes place on stock exchanges, for instance, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or London Stock Exchange (LSE). The exchanges facilitate seamless buying and selling of shares between the concerned entities.

What moves stock markets?

It is primarily the share supply and demand that influence the price movement of the company’s stock on an exchange:

Share Supply

The number of available shares in any company is limited and controlled based on the company choosing to release more or buy back some stock to reduce supply. In case a company releases more stock, while demand does not rise to befit the increased supply, the share price is likely to go down. A buyback, on the other hand, without a corresponding fall in demand, the company’s share price will likely increase.

Share Trading

Share Demand

Demand for the company’s share price can fluctuate based on a wide range of factors, listed below:

Share Trading

Earnings reports

The content of quarterly earnings reports and other major announcements influence the company’s share price, as traders and investors speculate over its performance based on fundamental analysis.

Share Trading

External factors

Macroeconomic factors, including data releases on GDP, retail sales, oil inventory data, interest rates and Fed meeting outcomes, play a major role in influencing share market.

Share Trading

Sentiment

Comments from a major investor or influencer, that may not be justified from fundamental analysis perspective, might trigger stock market movements.

Share Trading

Automation

The growing popularity of automated trading and real-time technical analysis tools backed by algorithms help traders spot the opportunity, causing movement in the share price.

How to build a share trading plan

Maintaining a stock trading plan helps you to evaluate what contributed to successfully trade shares and what factors led to unsuccessful ones. The share trading plan must include the four key factors:

Share Trading

Fundamental/Technical

It is advisable to decide whether to place an order you want to rely exclusively on fundamental or technical analysis or you would like to mix the two.

Share Trading

Know your risk profile

Your risk-reward ratio decides how much potential profit you would need to counter a potential loss. For instance, 2:1 ratio implies that you would expect your potential profit to be double to that of your potential loss.
