    Options market

    A call option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a specific price for a specified time period. Whereas, a put option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell an underlying security at a specific price for a specified time period. Strike price is the stated price per unit for which the underlying index or stock option may be purchased (in case of a call) or sold (in case of a put). The change (%), in the table below, indicates the change in price of that particular option over its previous close. Hence, a comparison between various call and put options would be indicative of the future expected movement of the market/stocks.
