}Calculate Black-Scholes Implied Volatility
Solve for the implied volatility from a given option price using the Black-Scholes model. Implied volatility is the market’s forecast of future volatility embedded in option prices. It is the volatility parameter that, when input into the Black-Scholes formula, reproduces the observed market price. Widely used for volatility surface construction, options trading, and risk management. The solver uses iterative methods to invert the Black-Scholes formula. [Tier: PRO, Credits: 5]
