What is Gamma ?

Gamma in international finance refers to the rate of change of an option's delta concerning changes in the price of the underlying asset. It measures the sensitivity of delta to movements in the underlying asset's price, indicating how quickly delta will change with price fluctuations. High gamma implies that delta will change significantly with small price movements, increasing the option's sensitivity to market changes and potential profits or losses. On the contrary, low gamma suggests slower changes in delta, indicating reduced sensitivity and risk exposure. Understanding gamma is crucial for option traders as it helps assess risk, manage portfolios effectively, and make informed decisions regarding options strategies based on market conditions and risk tolerance.
