It is a good idea to define each concept first. What exactly are gold options? They are based on gold futures and represent contracts. If you own a gold option, you have the right (but will not be forced to) to take a long or short investment position in the respective gold futures at the relevant strike price. When the option expires, you no longer have this right. Options are traded on exchanges such as the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Futures are traded in series of one hundred gold ounces on NYMEX while the prices of options are quoted in dollars and cents. On the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, options are quoted in yens and traded in 1000 grams. The two kinds of options are put and call. Call options are favored by investors who think the price of gold will rise. With put options, it is the opposite - they are usually bought by investors who believe gold prices will fall."}
