A call option is a financial derivative contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an underlying asset (like a stock) at a specified strike price before or on a set expiration date. Investors and traders use call options to speculate on rising asset prices or to hedge other positions, paying a premium for this right. Understanding call options is a key skill in options trading, portfolio management, and financial analysis.
