Ask Or Offer Price
The ask or offer price is the price at which a seller is willing to sell a security, such as stocks, bonds, currencies, ETFs, or other financial instruments. It represents the minimum price the seller will accept for the asset. The ask price is typically higher than the bid price, which is the price a buyer is willing to pay. The difference between the bid and ask price is called the spread, and it reflects the liquidity and market conditions for the asset. The ask price plays a crucial role in determining the cost of entering or exiting a trade.
