Premium

From Reuters Financial Glossary

Premium is generally used to describe when something is trading above its normal price. An asset or fund is described as being at premium when its market price is above its face value. In the capital markets, it is the amount by which a bond sells above par. In foreign exchange terms, it is the margin by which the forward rate is higher than the spot. In commodity markets it is the additional price paid by a consumer when the delivered commodity is of better quality than that specified in the original contract. Premium is the opposite of discount.
