What do you mean by Option Premium ?
Option Premium refers to the price that a buyer pays to the seller for an option contract. It is the difference between the current market price of the underlying asset and the strike price of the option. For call options, the intrinsic value is the difference between the current market price and the strike price, if positive. For put options, it is the difference between the strike price and the current market price, if positive. Extrinsic Value is the portion of the option premium that is not accounted for by the intrinsic value. It represents the value of the option's potential to become more profitable before expiration. The more time an option has until expiration, the higher its time value. Higher volatility generally leads to higher option premiums, as there is a greater opportunity of the underlying asset's price experiencing significant fluctuations before expiration. Interest rates can also affect option premiums, as they impact the cost of carrying the underlying asset.
