Fidelity - bonds, CDs & Options daily market closing prices

Thomas Roche

Since the recent Fidelity new authentication process (express Web Connect +), my updates now pull in the incorrect closing price. Bond quotes are expressed as a percentage of par or face value (typically $1,000). i.e. a bond price of 98.25 is 98.25% of $1,000.

Using the above example, Quicken is now pulling in a price of $0.9825 I don't know if Quicken gets the prices from Fidelity or some other source.

Any idea where the problem lies ?

While I usually think of the pricing as $98.25 per $100 face value, your percentage view is equally valid. I believe that pricing comes from Fidelity but is now passing through a few hands via the Express Web Connect+ vehicle. I don’t believe the Quicken download quotes path does anything with bonds.

I suggest using the Report a Problem within Quicken though you will not get feedback from that.
