Читать книгу Currency Trading For Dummies - Kathleen Brooks - Страница 27

Spot refers to the price at which you can buy or sell currencies now, as in “on the spot.” If you’re familiar with stock trading, the price you can trade at is essentially a spot price. The term is primarily meant to differentiate spot, or cash, trading from futures trading, or trading for some future delivery date. The spot currency market is normally traded for settlement in two business days. Unless otherwise specified, the spot price is most likely to be what you buy and sell at with your currency broker.
