Why is it feminine?
Bourses is feminine because it derives from the Late Latin "bursa" (a pouch or purse), which was inherently feminine in gender, and this grammatical gender was preserved when the word entered Old French. The feminine form remained standard as the word evolved to mean both a physical purse and, by extension, a stock exchange or financial market.
