Market efficiency describes the degree to which asset prices accurately reflect all available information. In an efficient market, it is theoretically difficult to consistently achieve abnormal returns through trading strategies because prices rapidly adjust to new data. Various forms of market efficiency exist, ranging from weak to semi-strong to strong, each positing different levels of information incorporation into prices. The concept is foundational in financial economics and influences how market participants approach investment decisions.
