What is Spot Market

The spot market, often known as the cash market, is a public financial market that facilitates the acquisition and sale of financial instruments or commodities for immediate delivery. On the other hand, a futures market, in which delivery is scheduled for a later date, is not the same thing. The settlement process in a spot market typically takes place in T+2 working days, which means that the delivery of cash and commodities must be completed after two working days have passed since the date of the trade. An exchange or an over-the-counter (OTC) market are both viable options for using a spot market. Spot markets are able to function in any location where the necessary infrastructure is present to carry out the transaction.
