A financial quotation refers to specific market data relating to a security or commodity. While the term quote specifically refers to the bid price or ask price of an instrument, it may be more generically used to relate to the last price which this security traded at ("last sale").^[1] This may refer to both exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments.
