Bulldog Market
Categories: Stocks, Bonds, Trading, Forex, International
You can probably picture an English bulldog (kinda looks like Winston Churchill). A bulldog market is simply a nickname for the foreign bond market in the United Kingdom.
Quoted in British pounds sterling, those not living in the UK can buy and sell bonds issued there. These bonds are attractive, as the currency tends to be very stable, resulting in lower risk.
A bulldog market is not the same as a “bull market,” which means stock market prices are rising.
Couple other little factoids: the United State market is called the “Yankee market,” in The Netherlands it’s the “Rembrandt market” and in Japan it’s the “Samurai market.” Any guesses for Spain? The “Matador market.” How about “Kangaroo market”? (Australia). Is there a "Warlord Market" in Somalia?
