Wall Street, a large street in the southern Manhattan district of New York City that extends from Broadway to the East River. It is only one-third of a mile long and only 11 meters wide. The streets are narrow and short, and there are only seven blocks from Broadway to the East River, but it is known as the "financial center of the United States." Managers of banks, insurance, shipping, railways and other companies, including the Rothschild, Morgan, Rockefeller Oil King, Goldman Sachs and DuPont, are concentrated here. The famous New York Stock Exchange is also here, and is still the headquarters of several major exchanges: such as the Nasdaq, the United States Stock Exchange, the New York Futures Exchange, etc. The term “Wall Street” has now surpassed the street itself as a proxy for the neighborhood, and can also refer to financial markets and financial institutions that have an impact on the world economy.
