opening price

First trading value

Opening price is the price at which a security or commodity first trades when a market opens for the day.

It may differ from the previous day's closing price due to overnight news, pre-market activity, or accumulated orders: The stock's opening price was two dollars higher than yesterday's close.

Traders watch opening prices for signals about the day's direction.
