Bull Market

Definition

A bull market is the condition of a financial market in which prices are rising or are expected to rise. The term is most often used to refer to the stock market but can be applied to anything that is traded, such as bonds, real estate, and commodities.

Example

From 2009 to early 2020, the U.S. stock market was in one of the longest bull markets in history, with the S&P 500 index growing significantly over the decade.
