Futures and Options (F&O) are financial derivatives widely used in the share market to manage risk, speculate, and hedge against price movements in various assets, such as stocks, commodities, currencies, and indices, without owning them.
Future Contracts: The futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell the stocks at a predetermined rate on a particular date in the future. Buyer and seller are obliged to buy and sell the stock, respectively, on the contract's expiration date. Future trading can be used as a risk management tool for hedging or speculating the price movement in a stock's future. Generally, futures trading is done in organized exchanges, facilitating liquidity and transparency.
Options Contract: A holder of an underlying asset can buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined rate even before the expiration date. There is no obligation about it. The option buyer needs to pay the seller a premium to get this right. This contract offers flexibility for various trading. There are two options in the contract: call and put. The call is profitable in upward price movement, and the put is profitable in downward price movement.
