Exchange vs Börse

stock exchange / market / purse

'Börse' and 'Exchange' can both mean a trading venue where, for example, securities, commodities, or foreign currencies are traded. 'Börse' is the normal German word and fits in almost all general texts. 'Exchange' is an English loanword and is more likely to be used in international, technical, or specialized financial contexts. There is a risk of confusion because 'Exchange' can also be a system for email and calendars. When the topic is finance, 'Exchange' can be meant like 'Börse'; in normal German, 'Börse' is usually clearer.
