The article is devoted to the investigation of the state and development trends of exchange trading at the current stage. The main aspects characterizing the stock and commodity stock markets in our country and the world have been analyzed. The authors emphasized the concentration of exchange trading in Ukraine on several licensed exchanges, which resulted in a significant increase in the regulated market. The main groups of goods that prevail on the commodity and stock markets of Ukraine are singled out. It was established that the predominant share of trading volume of financial instruments, which was carried out by operators of organized capital markets in Ukraine in 2021, fell on debt securities, and the total trading volume of shares was insignificant. Emphasis is placed on the determining influence of globalization processes on the exchange market development. It is noted that the financial market occupies a dominant place with a share of about 80% of the total exchange turnover in the total world stock exchange trade. Significant revitalization and development of electronic stock trading and constant improvement of stock trading technologies on an innovative basis have been noted. The paper provides an assessment of the current state of development of international exchange trading. An increase in market capitalization, a trend toward growth in the number of concluded contracts in general and for certain types of exchange contracts on commodity and stock exchanges have been noted. The main factors affecting the current state of stock trading development in the world have been systematized. They include market globalization, the development of the latest information technologies, the strengthening of the influence of global financial market participants, the diversification of existing and the emergence of new financial instruments, the unification of regulations for the stock markets, regional structural changes in the activity of the world stock market with increased concentration of stock trading in the Asia-Pacific region.
