Currency Option
(redirected from Currency Option Contract)

     0.01 sec.
Currency option
An option to buy or sell a foreign currency.
Currency Option
An option contract in which the underlying asset is a foreign currency. The option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy (for a call) or sell (for a put) a set amount of the currency at a certain exchange rate on or before the expiration date. They are largely used when international corporations wish to hedge against the possibility of adverse movements in foreign exchange rates.
