'Finanzmarkt' (financial market) is a compound noun from the area of 'die Finanzen' (finances) and 'der Markt' (market). It therefore refers to a market that deals with finance.

Common adjectives that describe the state of the financial market are 'stabil' (stable), 'volatil' (volatile), or 'angespannt' (strained/tense). Typical verbs are 'regulieren' (to regulate), 'beobachten' (to monitor), or 'beruhigen' (to calm).

'die Börse' and 'der Finanzmarkt' both belong to the area of investing money and trading financial products. 'Finanzmarkt' is the broader umbrella term. It includes, for example, stocks, bonds, and currencies. 'Börse' more often means an organized market or trading venue where such products are traded. The words can be confused because both appear in business news. As a simple guide: 'Finanzmarkt' is the whole system; 'Börse' is an important part of it.
