Trading session of the Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F)MUB3 - Museu da bolsa do Brasil
Although it may seem like a complex and difficult-to-access environment, exchanges are nothing more than a trading environment where the buying and selling of financial assets such as stocks, government bonds, commodities, among others, takes place.
They serve as a connection between entrepreneurs who need money to develop projects, and investors who are seeking profitability.
