Global Markets (Sales & Trading)

Global Markets divisions generate revenue through sales and trading activities across a wide range of financial products, including bonds, equities, derivatives, and foreign exchange. The traders and salespeople work closely to match buyers with sellers while taking proprietary positions to benefit from market movements. The group earns money from the bid-ask spread, commissions, and trading gains.
