Retail Market

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
retail market
A market composed of price quotes for a security made by a broker or a dealer to an individual investor. A quote at the retail level entails a higher ask and a lower bid than a quote on the same security for another dealer. Compare inside market.
Retail Market
1. The market for the sale of goods or services to consumers rather than producers or intermediaries. For example, a retail clothing store sells to people who will (most likely) wear the clothes. It does not include the sale of the clothes to other stores who will resell them. The retail market contrasts with the wholesale market.

2. The market for the sale of securities to individual investors rather than institutional investors or broker-dealers. See also: Retail banking.
