Asked price

In context of general equities, price at which a security or commodity is offered for sale on an exchange or in the OTC Market.

Ask

The lowest price for which a seller is willing to sell some asset. When one makes a buy order, one may order a broker to buy at the ask, which is simply the best price currently available. The difference between the ask and the bid is called the bid-ask spread, which is a key measure of liquidity.
