The Spot Market is a financial marketplace where assets—including stocks, currencies, commodities, and bonds—are bought and sold for immediate delivery and settlement, with transactions typically settling within two business days (T+2 or T+1 in India's evolving settlement framework). Unlike futures markets where contracts are settled at a future date, spot market transactions reflect real-time prices. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE operate spot markets for equities in India. Spot market prices serve as the reference point for pricing derivative instruments like futures and options.
