Spot Markets

Spot markets are platforms where financial instruments—such as commodities, currencies, or securities—are bought and sold for immediate delivery and payment. Transactions are settled "on the spot," meaning delivery typically occurs within a short period, often within two business days. These markets provide real-time pricing and quick liquidity, reflecting current supply and demand. They are essential for traders and businesses seeking to quickly buy or sell assets at prevailing market prices, allowing for efficient and immediate transfer of ownership without the need for future commitments.
