Financial Market Indicators
Financial market indicators play a pivotal role in making investment decisions. For example, if indicators point to a bullish market, investors will go long. If a bearish market looks likely, investors will reduce their exposure. These financial market indicators also play a pivotal role in assessing the current state of an economy, which influences trends in the stock market.

Collateral Management
Creditors often require collateral, which refers to securities, cash, or other assets that are offered by a borrower to hedge the credit risk of a transaction such as a commercial loan or mortgage. Should the borrower default, the creditor can take possession of the assets provided as collateral to cover the obligation. Collateral management is the process by which the two counterparties (creditor and debtor) exchange assets provided as collateral.
