Strike Price (Options) Explained - Derivatives

In finance, the exercise price of an option is the fixed price at which the holder of the option may buy or sell the underlying security or commodity (in the case of a call) at a fixed price, or in this case sell it as a put. Alternatively, it may be set at a discount or premium, or it may be determined by the spot price above or below the market price of an underlying security or commodity currency on the day the options are excluded. The price exercised is a fixed discount/premium and is subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, interest rates and other factors. 

Money is the value of a financial contract when the contract is executed financially, and trading is based on contracts requiring delivery to the underlying instrument. 

In options trading, terms such as money, money and money - money describe the moneyworthiness of an option. More specifically, it is the value of the underlying option security or the price of that security in monetary terms. 

A call option is money if the strike price is above the market price of the underlying shares. Put options, on the other hand, are not money unless the issue price is above or below the market price for the underlying share. 

A call warrant is excluded if the exercise price is above or below the market price of the underlying shares. Put options, on the other hand, are not money unless the issue price or strike price is equal to or higher than the closing price. A call and a put option can be linked to money if both the share price and the strike price are equal or close together. Call options cannot be excluded unless the price exercised is below or close to the market price for the existing basic share. Put options must be excluded until and to the extent that the strike price was above and near or at or slightly above and/or equal to or lower than the market price.

What is Final Consumption Expenditure?

Final consumption expenditure is a measure of the amount of money that is spent on goods and services by households, governments, and nonprofit organizations for the satisfaction of their own needs and wants.  It is one of the main components of GDP, along with gross capital formation (investment) and exports minus imports (net trade).

Explaining Gilt-edged securities (shortened to gilts)

Gilt-edged securities, also known as gilts, are debt securities issued by the government of the United Kingdom.   They are called gilt-edged securities because they are considered to be among the highest quality and most secure investments available, with a long history of low default rates and stable returns. Gilts are issued in a range of maturities, from short-term bills with a maturity of less than one year, to long-term bonds with a maturity of over 25 years. They pay a fixed rate of interest, known as the coupon, which is paid to investors on a regular basis, typically semi-annually. The principal amount of the gilt is repaid to the investor at the end of the term of the gilt. Gilts are issued by the UK Debt Management Office (DMO), which is an agency of the UK government responsible for managing the government's debt. The DMO issues gilts on behalf of the government to finance its borrowing requirements, and sets the terms and conditions of the gilts, including the coupon ra

What are Chained Volume Measures (CVM)?

Chained volume measures (CVM) is a method of adjusting economic data for price changes over time, in order to make the data more comparable and easier to understand. CVM is used to adjust data from different periods for inflation, so that the data can be compared in "real" terms. This means that the data is adjusted for the effects of inflation, so that the comparison between different periods is more meaningful. For example, if we wanted to compare the GDP of a country in two different years, we could simply compare the nominal GDP figures for those years. However, this would not take into account the fact that the general level of prices may have changed between the two years. Inflation would cause the nominal GDP figures to be higher in the later year, even if the actual amount of economic activity had not increased. To correct for this, we can use CVM to adjust the GDP figures for inflation, so that we can compare the "real" GDP of the two years. This will give
