What is a commodity option?

A commodity option is a financial derivative contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specific quantity of a commodity at a predetermined price within a specified time period. It allows investors to speculate on the price movements of commodities such as agricultural products, metals, energy, or other raw materials.
