What is a bond option?

A bond option is a financial derivative that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a bond at a predetermined price (strike price) on or before a specified date (expiration date). It allows investors to hedge against interest rate fluctuations or speculate on future bond price movements.
