All trading glossary is presented in our glossary in the alphabetical order and is explained with linguistic precision.

Inflation
This is the increase in the cost of goods and services in an economy. It is also a devaluing of currency, because in the time of inflation, each unit of the currency’s economy is worth less of any good or service.
Interest
This term refers to several things in finance. It refers to the charge levied against a party for borrowing money, which can be a cost or a means of making profit for a trader. Interest can also refer to the portion of a company’s stocks held by a particular shareholder.
Interest Rate 
This is an amount charged by a lender to a borrower for the loan of an asset, usually expressed as a percentage of the borrowed amount. This percentage usually refers to the amount paid each year (Annual Percentage Rate). But it can refer to payments on a more or less regular basis.
Intrinsic Value
 This is the true or perceived value of an asset. Intrinsic value is not always identical to an asset’s market price, because assets can be either undervalued or overvalued. Investors use Intrinsic Value in option pricing or assess stocks.  
IPO
This is an abbreviation for Initial Public Offering. This term means that a company goes public on a stock exchange.
