Why does the same bond show different prices on different platforms?

Was checking the same bond on two platforms and the price was slightly different on both. Is that normal or am I looking at something wrong?

yeah happens, i’ve seen like 20 to 30 rs difference also sometimes. i just assumed one of them is delayed or something

Prices can differ based on where the trade is happening and liquidity at that moment. Not always exactly synced.

but shouldn’t it be same if it’s listed?

listed doesn’t mean one fixed price everywhere. it’s just last traded price or current offers, so thoda idhar udhar hota hai

Both platforms are showing market-linked prices, but what you see depends on available buyers and sellers at that point in time. Even small timing differences can lead to slightly different prices being displayed.

basically like cab prices, same ride but different app different rate :sweat_smile:

okay that analogy actually helps

Also worth noting that what you see is often indicative. The final execution price depends on the order you place and available liquidity. So small variations across platforms are expected.

got it, so nothing wrong, just market dynamics

yeah not a bug, just market being market
