What is a Futures and Options (Derivatives)?
Futures and options are types of derivatives that derive their value from underlying assets like commodities, currencies, or stocks. They are powerful financial instruments that allow investors to hedge risk or speculate on future price movements. Futures contracts obligate the buyer to purchase, and the seller to sell, a particular asset at a predetermined future date and price. Options contracts, on the other hand, give the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell an asset at a set price before a certain date.
