It is used to manage risk and profit from market movements. Traders may use options, futures, or other derivatives to capitalize on predicted price swings. Derivative Markets: The derivatives market is a financial market where contracts are traded that derive their value from an underlying asset or group of assets, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, or currencies. These contracts allow traders to speculate on the future price movements of the underlying asset, hedge against potential losses, or gain exposure to the asset without owning it directly. Option Derivatives: Option derivatives are financial instruments that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price and time. They are used for hedging or speculation in the financial markets. Future Derivatives: Futures derivatives are financial contracts that obligate the buyer to purchase an underlying asset at a predetermined price and date in the future, while the seller is obligated to deliver that asset at the specified price and date. Futures are often used as a risk management tool by investors to hedge against potential price fluctuations. Longing: Longing is a term used in trading and investing, specifically in the context of buying an asset with the expectation that its value will increase over time. It is the opposite of shorting, which involves selling an asset with the expectation that its value will decrease. Shorting: Shorting refers to a trading strategy where an investor sells an asset they do not own, with the intention of buying it back later at a lower price. The investor profits from the difference in the selling and buying price. It is often used to speculate on a potential decline in the value of an asset.
