To understand the deep root and nature of international stock trading, it would help if you would quickly look at the brief and short history of stock market trading.
It is believed that stock market trading started in the 11th century in the Egyptian capital city of Cairo. That trading involved credit and debt payment schemes between the country’s early Muslims and the trading Jewish merchants.
In the 12th century, French farmers started trading their agricultural goods and harvest through debts provided and credited to them by banks. Thus, the goods were treated like commodities which are valued at how much the actual market value of the harvest is.
In 1602, The formal stock market trading started with the launch and pilot operations of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. The Dutch East India Company was the first to list its shares or stocks in the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.
Thus, the company holds the record of being the first company to be ever listed and to issue bonds and stocks.
Since 1602, stock market trading has come a long way. But basically, the concept and principle of stock market trading is still upheld and is still being implemented up to now.
