Market performance is about how the stock price moves up and down based on buying and selling. If lots of people are buying the stocks, the price goes up. If lots of people are selling, the price goes down. People buy stocks when they think the company will make a profit soon, and sell when they think it might lose money. The stock price also reflects how well the business is doing. If the company is doing well, the stock value goes up. So, when you're buying stocks, make sure the company is making a profit. You need to understand the company’s financials before investing.
