HISTORY OF FINANCIAL TRADING

The history of trading financial markets goes back millennia, with some of the earliest recorded examples dating back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Merchants would exchange goods and services in what's considered the earliest form of trade, known as bartering. It wasn't until around 1500 BC that money was introduced, starting with precious metals like gold and silver. These would be used as a form of currency and eventually led to the minting of coins.
