[edit] Examples

[edit] Spot Forex

The spot forex market has a 2 day delivery date, originally due to the time it would take to move cash from one bank to another.

[edit] Energy Spot

The Spot energy market allows producers of surplus energy to instantly locate available buyers for this energy, negotiate prices within milliseconds and deliver actual energy to the customer just a few minutes later. Spot markets can be either privately operated or controlled by industry organizations or government agencies. They frequently attract speculators, since spot market prices are known to the public almost as soon as deals are transacted.
