An asset's volatility is a key factor when pricing options contracts.

CONT

Considérée en finance comme la base de la mesure du risque, la volatilité est par définition une mesure des amplitudes des variations du cours d'un actif financier. Ainsi, plus la volatilité d'un actif est élevée et plus l'investissement dans cet actif sera considéré comme risqué et par conséquent plus l'espérance de gain (ou risque de perte) sera important. À l'inverse, un actif sans risque ou très peu risqué [...] aura une volatilité très faible, car son remboursement est quasiment certain.

OBS

Dans le cas d'un instrument dérivé, la volatilité s'apprécie en fonction du cours du sous-jacent.

OBS

La volatilité mesure les fluctuations d'un actif sur le marché.
