Observable Value

Definition

Observable Value. A value for something that can be observed in the marketplace

Derivatives, such as certain exotics, can be based on values ascribed to virtually anything, including weather. Typically, however, an observable value refers to something that can be readily observed in the marketplace, such as a quoted rate (e.g., interest rate, exchange rate), index value, commodity price, stock price, economic indicator, or something similar as of some point in time.
