# Markets
> Listed perpetual markets and trading parameters
Polymarket Perps markets track underlying assets across indices, commodities,
crypto assets, and equities. Each market has its own trading parameters.
## Instruments
Perps markets are represented by instruments, which are the listed perpetual
contracts available to trade.

## Price Feeds
Each market tracks an underlying market through external price feeds. Those
feeds drive the [Index Price](/perps/learn-about-trading/index-price), and the Index Price helps anchor the [Mark Price](/perps/learn-about-trading/mark-price).
