The Spot Market or Cash Market is a commodities or securities market in which goods are sold for cash and delivered immediately. Contracts bought and sold on these markets are immediately effective. Spot markets can operate wherever the infrastructure exists to conduct the transaction. The Spot market for most securities exists primarily on the internet.

They frequently attract speculators, since spot market prices are known to the public almost as soon as deals are transacted.
