Price Alternative Close - Datatype(PX)

The PX datatype is used for exchanges that publish more than one close price, for example Borsa Italiana disseminate an Official Close and Reference Price.

For a full list of close price coverage see Datastream Close Price Definitions

Prices are denominated in the major currency for all markets except the UK where pound sterling traded securities are displayed in pence.

PX is adjusted for corporate actions, for unadjusted Price Alternative Close see UPX.

PX is unpadded, meaning on dates the quote has not traded then n/a will be displayed. For padded values see PXP.
