The offer price is the cost of purchasing the underlying asset from a broker or market maker. The offer price, from the perspective of the market maker, is the price at which they are willing to sell the underlying.

When trading financial assets, the offer price is one of two prices quoted, the other being the bid price. The spread is the difference between the offer and the bid; it is the fee that traders pay to open positions. As a result, the offer price is marginally higher than the market price, while the bid price is marginally lower.

The offer price is also known as the ask price or asking price. As a result, the spread is sometimes referred to as the bid-ask spread rather than the bid-offer spread.

The offer price, also known as the ask price, is the price at which a seller is willing to sell a financial asset, such as a currency pair in forex trading. It represents the minimum amount the seller will accept in exchange for the asset. In forex, the offer price is part of the bid-ask spread, where the bid is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay, and the offer is the lowest price a seller will take.

Traders looking to buy will do so at the offer price, while sellers will transact at the bid price. The difference between the bid and offer prices reflects market liquidity and can impact trading costs. A tighter spread usually indicates higher liquidity, while wider spreads suggest lower liquidity.
