In this blog we have made our effort to
explain few terms that are routinely used in the market. They are the technical
terms used in the market to mention the price movements of the traded financial
asset. We are going to brief about the various types of prices used in the
market and its implications.
OPENING PRICE
The opening price is the price at which a security trades first at once
the exchange opens on a specific trading day. The opening price is an important
indicator for the particular day's trading activity, especially for short-term day
traders. The securities with very large intra-day price variations
will have those fluctuations measured in relation to the opening price
for the day.
CLOSING PRICE
Most financial instruments are traded after hours, so the closing
price of a security may not equal its after-hours price. Still, closing prices
provide a useful indicator for investors to evaluate changes in stock prices
over time - the closing price of one day can be compared to the previous
closing price in order to measure market
sentiment for a
given security over a trading day.A security's closing price on the previous day of trading. Previous close can refer to the previous day's value of a stock, commodity, bond, futures or option contract, market index, or any other security. By comparing a security's closing price from one day to the next, investors can see how the security's price has changed over time.
The closing price is the
final price at which a security trades during the closing time of the exchange
on a given trading day. The closing price represents the most up-to-date valuation of a security until trading starts again on the next
trading day.
ADJUSTED CLOSING PRICE
A stock's closing
price on any
given trading day that has been adjusted to include the distributions and
corporate actions that happened preceding the next day's open. The adjusted
closing price is frequently used when examining historical returns or performing a detailed analysis on
historical returns.
PREVIOUS CLOSING PRICE:
A security's closing
price on the
previous day of trading. Previous close can refer to the previous day's value
of a stock, commodity, bond, futures or option contract, market index, or any other security. By comparing a
security's closing price from one day to the next, investors can see how the
security's price has changed over time.
