Bid-Asked Spread

    0.01 sec.
Bid-asked spread
The difference between the bid and the asked prices.

Bid-Asked Spread
On an exchange, the difference between the highest price a buyer of a security or other asset is willing to pay (the bid) and the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell (the ask). Generally speaking, the more liquid an asset is, the less of a difference there is between the bid and the ask. As a result, currency, which is considered the most liquid asset, has an extremely low bid-ask spread.
