A call option is a financial contract in the share market that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a stock at a fixed price (called the strike price) before a specific expiration date. Traders use call options to benefit from rising stock prices without having to buy the shares upfront. The buyer pays a premium for this right, and if the stock price goes above the strike price, they can profit by buying low and selling high. If the price doesn't rise, the buyer's maximum loss is limited to the premium paid.
