Gold put options can be used by either a speculator who does not have a gold cash market position but wishes to profit froma falling gold price, or a hedger who owns and/or plans to sell gold and fears that a drop in the price of gold will erode the value of his gold assets. A gold put option enables a speculator to profit from-and a hedger to protect himself against-a decrease in the gold price. 3, record 1, English, - gold%20put%20option

(...) Trois mois plus tard, le 15 janvier, le prix de l'or a effectivement baissé de 31 $ US pour s'établir à 404 $ US l'once troy et le prix d'une option de vente or/mai/400 a augmenté de 22 $ US; il est maintenant de 54 $ US l'once troy. L'investisseur décide que le prix de l'or s'est stabilisé à environ 400 $ US l'once et vend une option de vente or/mai/400 pour liquider sa position. Il a réalisé un profit de 220 $ US (avant frais de courtage) sur un investissement de 320 $ US. 1, record 1, French, - option%20de%20vente%20or

The same outcomes-exercise, offsetting closing transaction or expiry-result whether a gold options investor buys puts(as in the above example), buys calls, writes puts or writes calls. Of course, only a gold options buyer has the right to exercise; a gold options writer has sold that right to a buyer in return for a premium and must either sell gold(if he has written a call) or buy gold(if he has written a put), should he be assigned. Therefore, an exercise generally implies a profit for a gold options buyer and may mean a loss for a gold options writer. Conversely, if an option expires, this entails a loss for a buyer(the premium paid) and a profit for a writer(the premium received). 2, record 2, English, - gold%20options%20buyer

Ces mêmes éventualités (levée, opération de compensation ou échéance) surviennent, que l'investisseur dans les options sur l'or achète des options de vente (comme dans l'exemple ci-dessus) ou des options d'achat, ou encore qu'il vende des options de vente ou des options d'achat. Bien entendu, seul un acheteur d'options sur l'or a un droit de levée; un vendeur d'options sur l'or a vendu ce droit à l'acheteur en contrepartie du prix de l'option et il doit vendre l'or (s'il a vendu une option d'achat) ou acheter l'or (s'il a vendu une option de vente), s'il se voit assigner une levée. Par conséquent, une levée suppose en général un profit pour un acheteur d'options sur l'or et peut entraîner une perte pour un vendeur d'options sur l'or. Inversement, l'échéance de l'option peut signifier une perte pour l'acheteur (la perte du prix versé pour l'option) et un profit pour le vendeur (qui a perçu ce prix). 2, record 2, French, - acheteur%20d%27options%20sur%20l%27or
