"Stockmarkets" vs. "stock markets"

English Language & Usage Asked by kaissun on May 22, 2021

I am having trouble with the difference between stockmarkets and stock markets — or should it be stock-markets? In some articles it is introduced as stockmarkets, but that term is not found in the dictionary.

I need more clarification about the difference between them and which one is more correct to use.

One Answer

It is Stock Market or equity market: (from Wikipedia)

  • is the aggregation of buyers and sellers (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete entity) of stocks (also called shares); these may include securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.

Definition of 'Stock market': (from Investopedia)

  • The market in which shares of publicly held companies are issued and traded either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also known as the equity market.

Ngram stock market vs stock-market

Personally I have very rarely seen it as one word. Ngram has no evidence of stock market as a single word.
