Relative yield spreadThe ratio of the yield spread to the yield level. Used for bonds.Relative yield spread Similar MatchesRelative demandRelative demandThe ratio of the demand for one good to the demand for another, most useful in representing general equilibrium in a two-good economy, where relative price adjusts to equate relative supply and relative demand. Relative priceRelative priceThe price of one thing (usually a good) in terms of another; i.e., the ratio of two prices. The relative of good X in terms of good Y is pX / pY. Relative form of purchasing power parityRelative form of purchasing power parityTheory that the rate of change in the prices of products should be somewhat similar, but not absolutely the same when measured in a common currency, as long as transportation costs and trade barriers are unchanged. Relative strength indexRelative strength indexA widely used index which compares a company's share price to a broadly-based market index like the FTSE All-Share. The point of the comparison is to show whether historically the company share price outperforms or underperforms the index.Because the RSI is a ratio, it will increase as a share moves higher relative to the market, and decrease as the share moves lower relative to the market. Its main use is to enable investors to avoid shares that have a history of relative underperformance and to chose those that have a history of relative outperformance.In commercial charts, the RSI is usually superimposed on the bottom third of the share price chart, or sometimes in its own box underneath the main chart. Relative strengthRelative strengthMovement of a stock price over the past year as compared to a market index (like the S&P 500). A value below 1.0 means the stock shows relative weakness in price movement (underperformed the market); a value above 1.0 means the stock shows relative strength over the one-year period. Equation for Relative Strength: [current stock price/year-ago stock price] divided by [current S&P 500/year-ago S&P 500]. Note this can be a misleading indicator of performance because it does not take risk into account. Further Suggestionsrelative strengthRelative supply Relative value |
