1. I don’t know where you saw “several points”. “Several points” have different meanings regardless of the occasion or industry.
2. If you hear people discussing stocks, securities, spot, futures, etc., "a few points" generally refers to percentage points, which is a few percentage points higher or lower based on the original price. There are also spot electronic trading platforms that directly refer to the last change in the transaction price. For example, the original price was 235 yuan/lot and the current price is 238 yuan/lot, which means it has increased by 3 points!
3. The "several points" in the economic index and financial statistics of a country or company generally refer to percentages.
4. In daily life, entering accounts such as QQ passwords and email passwords will involve several points, so "several points" means "how many points there are."
