Market Expiration refers to the predetermined date and time when a derivatives contract, such as a futures or options contract, ceases to be valid. At this point, the contract is either settled financially or through physical delivery of the underlying asset. The expiration date dictates the final trading period for the contract and its ultimate settlement terms. It represents a critical event for participants holding derivative positions.
