Term of the day
choke price
The choke price is reached when the price rises high enough that demand for that item (or commodity – the term is often used in commodities trading) reaches zero. The choke price is the exact point at which demand ceases. Buyers are also not interested in anything with a higher price, but the choke price is the lowest for which there is zero demand.
The choke price is used in demand and supply analysis.
