Cash Market

    0.01 sec.
cash market
The market in which trades are made for the immediate sale or purchase of a particular item. Cash market is commonly used in commodities trading to differentiate transactions involving immediate or nearly immediate delivery from transactions requiring delivery at a future time. Also called spot market.

Cash Market
A market in which an asset bought or sold is delivered immediately. For example, if one bought a stock and it was delivered immediately, one utilized the cash market. It differs from derivatives markets, such as futures. Perhaps more commonly, it is called the spot market.

Cash market. In a cash market, buyers pay the market price for securities, currency, or commodities "on the spot," just as you would pay cash for groceries or other consumer products.

Cash markets are also called spot markets. A cash market is the opposite of a futures market, where commodities or financial products are scheduled for delivery and payment at a set price at a specified time in the future.

In a cash market, ownership is transferred promptly, and payment is made upon delivery.
