What is a Central Bank
A central bank or monetary authority is a monopolised and often nationalised institution given privileged control over the production and distribution of money and credit.
Bear Market
A Bear Market occurs when the price of a security is falling, and the negative outlook of the security causes the security’s price to continue to fall, causing a self-sustaining problem.
For a downturn like this to be officially considered a bear market, it must be on-going for longer than two months, otherwise it is known as a correction.
Bears are generally traders with a pessimistic view on markets that look to profit from a decline in prices.
ASX 200
A term used for the index of the top 200 shares on the Australian Securities Exchange, also AUS 200.
