What is a Stock Quote?

Stock quotes give us important information about a specific stock’s ongoing trading activity on a given exchange i.e National Stock Exchange (NSE) or Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

During the trading session, traders can see both the prices i.e what buyers are willing to pay (bids) and what sellers are willing to offer (asks), along with other information.

These quotes help the buyers as well as the sellers to find each other and to place an order.
