Why do we have negative values for bid prices ?

EMA 3.6.3.1 Java
We receive negative values for Some Rics through EMA API.
We check with the Speed Guide Tool. We receive also the same negative values with this tool.
Can you check please an feedback ?

It is because the world of finance is bigger than just Equities and Bonds. :-)
I don't know what kind of financial instrument this is, but for some financial instruments, a negative value is a perfectly valid price. Also, even the value 0 (zero) is a valid value for a price of a financial instrument.
If you want an example: FX Swaps. (because the price of a FX Swaps expresses a differential it of course means it can be both negative, positive, or zero)
As a side note: The value 0 (zero) is even a tradable price. This is why it is so very very important no to use the zero value to indicate "no price", you have blank values for that.0 -
Hi, after a check with the business, the Refinitiv value -3 isn't correct.
Can you tell us what to do for receiving the correct on ?
SpeedGuide generates the same value.
