1) why do stock prices start at a differnt value the next day to when they ended the day before?
1a) what happens during the night to make this change in price occur and why please?
1b) Same when its the weekend, why do prices change?
2) How and why does the market in the US affect the UK market and also the market in other areas of the world affect the stock prices here in the UK please?
3) As im from the UK, can anyone please recommend any websites (ideally uk sites) that explains not only UK stocks etc, but other areas of finance that applies here in the UK, such as interests rates and its effect on stocks and areas etc, to foreign exchange etc. (im hoping once I grasp the knowledge here, I can then understand USA and global finance better and also read the financial newspapers with some ease).
Thank you in advance x
