Options are a type of financial derivative, meaning their value is derived from an underlying asset, such as a stock, bond, currency, or commodity. An option contract gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price on or before a specific date. This financial instrument offers investors and traders a versatile tool for hedging, speculation, and income generation. Understanding options can open up a range of strategic possibilities in the financial markets.
