Notional value

The value of a product based on the underlying asset or assets.

NYA.X

NYA.X is a ticker for the NYSE Composite Index, one of the broadest measures of the US stock market. Where the Dow tracks 30 names and the S&P 500 tracks 500, this index sweeps in essentially every common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, more than two thousand of them, including foreign listings, real estate investment trusts, and American depositary receipts. It is float-adjusted and market-cap weighted, so bigger companies count for more. The breadth is the whole point: it captures the broader NYSE market rather than a curated slice. Example: An analyst wanting to know how the market performed, not just how a handful of megacaps performed, glances at the NYSE Composite under a ticker like NYA.X. If it lagged the narrower S&P 500 on a given day, that may indicate the gains were concentrated in a few giant stocks while the broader mass of listed companies did less well, a divergence the headline indices can easily hide.

NZD

The official currency of New Zealand (NZD).

Offer

Every quote has two sides, and the offer, also called the ask, is the one you pay when you buy. It is the price a seller is willing to accept, and it sits above the other half of the quote, the bid, which is where buyers are willing to pay.

The difference between the two is the spread, which is a cost of trading at the market. Buy at the offer, sell at the bid, and you start every position slightly underwater by the width of that spread.

Example: A currency pair is quoted 1.1050 bid, 1.1052 offer. A trader who wants to buy pays the offer of 1.1052, not the lower bid; if she turned around and sold immediately, she would get only 1.1050, losing the two-pip spread. That small gap is how market makers earn their keep, and why frequent trading in wide-spread instruments quietly bleeds an account even before the market has moved at all.

Offered

When a dealer says a market is offered, sellers have the upper hand. The word is the industry term meaning there is willingness to sell, that offers are stacking up and the price is under downward pressure as a result. It is the counterpart to bid, which signals buying interest.

Hearing that something is well offered tells a trader selling pressure may be stronger than buying interest, at least for the moment, because the supply of sellers appears to outweighs the demand from buyers.

Example: A voice broker tells his client that euro-dollar is heavily offered above 1.1000, meaning a wall of sellers is lined up to sell at or just above that level. The trader may interpret this as potential resistance, rather than assuming rallies into 1.1000 will stall or the price will fall, as market conditions can change

Offered Market

The offer is the price at which someone is willing to sell, the same thing traders also call the ask. It is the upper of the two prices in any quote, the level you pay when you want to buy right now, sitting above the bid where buyers are waiting.

This entry overlaps with the offer/ask price covered elsewhere in the list; the meaning is identical, offer and ask being interchangeable words for the selling side of the market.

Example: If gold is quoted 2,000 bid and 2,001 offer, a trader buying immediately pays the offer of 2,001. The offer is also where a seller posts their own price when they want to sell: place an offer at 2,005 and you are advertising a willingness to sell at that level, waiting for a buyer to come and lift it. Bid and offer together frame every tradable price in every market there is.
