Category – Market Makers

Market makers are firms or individuals who provide liquidity to financial markets by continuously buying and selling assets. In trading, market makers help ensure smooth market operations by offering two-way quotes (bid and ask prices) for securities. They profit from the bid-ask spread, and their activity reduces the potential for large price fluctuations due to a lack of buyers or sellers. Traders rely on market makers for consistent execution and tighter spreads, particularly in less liquid markets or during off-hours.
