New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)

NYSE, the New York Stock Exchange, is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the world. In terms of market capitalization of quoted issues, it is the world's largest stock exchange (in 2013, the value of all listed companies amounted to 16 billion USD).

The effort of investors, issuers and the US government to establish an official securities market was completed on May 17, 1792, when 24 securities brokers were gathered under a mighty platter on Wall Street, a place where securities were proven to be traded already in 1725 And signed an agreement to establish uniform rules for the purchase and sale of corporate bonds and bonds. This agreement began to be called the Buttonwood Agreement.

However, the Buttonwood or Platinum participants subsequently developed the first stock exchange regulations and adopted common trading rules published on March 8, 1817. They leased the 40th Wall Street building for their purpose, and their emerging organization was named the New York Stock & Exchange Board.

In 1863, the original name was shortened to the New York Stock Exchange. The NYSE abbreviation is used globally for the New York Stock Exchange.

Since 1868, NYSE membership has been held as a valuable asset. Being a member was possible only by purchasing one of the existing seats, which was only 1366.

The merger of NYSE with the already-publicly-traded joint stock company Archipelago, which operated an electronic stock exchange, created a new company called NYSE Group, Inc. All chairs have been converted into shares that are now traded on the NYSE under the NYX symbol.

NYSE is currently part of the NYSE Euronext international exchange group, which was established in 2007 by the NYSE Group and the Euronext European Stock Exchange. In 2008, the NYSE Euronext, the world's largest and most liquid exchange group, won the historic American Stock Exchange (Amex). The American Stock Exchange has been the leading Emergency Exchange for over two centuries before NYSE took over its leading role after the Second World War.

Structure of fees in the USA

Thanks to the heavy competition between the individual stock exchanges and brokerages that are active in the USA, securities trading fees are very reasonable.
