Definition of a \u201elong put\u201c<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA \u201elong put\u201c is the purchase of a put option. The option buyer acquires the right to sell a certain underlying asset at a fixed price (strike price) - either on a fixed date (for European options) or at any time up to the expiry date (for US options).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maximum loss and profit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe maximum loss when buying a \u201elong put\u201c occurs when the price of the underlying asset is above the strike price of the option. In this case, the option would expire without value and the buyer loses the option premium paid at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actual profit results from the difference between the strike price of the put option and the price of the underlying on the expiry date, minus the option premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday (30.09.2025), the last day of September, Republicans and Democrats were unable to reach an agreement on financing the budget.

It remains to be seen how long the standstill in the USA will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The longest shutdown to date brought government operations to a virtual standstill for more than five weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the CME Group's \u201eFed Watch Tool\u201c, there is a 99% chance of a rate cut at the next scheduled meeting on October 29 (as at October 1, 2025).
