The U.S. financial system contains large and active markets for stocks, bonds, and commodities, as well as digital assets (e.g., cryptocurrencies) and other financial instruments. This report describes authoritative, open-access sources for current and historical information about major financial markets in the United States. These sources include commercial businesses, industry groups, and government agencies. This report also provides links to federal financial regulatory agencies data, selected glossaries with background information about financial markets, and related CRS products.
