In the market, there can be a gap between the asking price and the actual market price.
Standard kanji spelling.
Variant spelling; less common but still used.
Compound of 呼び (yobi, 'calling') + 値 (ne, 'price'), literally 'called-out price'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term is used in financial contexts.
