 How are share prices determined?

The share prices, the prices at which the shares trade are determined by supply and demand. If there are more buyers than sellers, then the price will rise and if there are more sellers than buyers it will fall. In turn that supply and demand is determined by a number of other factors including:

General market sentiment
  • Movements on international markets
  • Economic events and Government decisions
  • Company news and performances
  • Interest rates
  • Speculation and rumour
