Explanation:
The money market can be defined as a component of the financial market wherein, financial instruments with low risk, high liquidity and short-term maturities (usually 365days or less) such as federal funds, treasury bills, bills of exchange, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, etc are traded between banks and other financial institutions.
