Spot Exchange Rate

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Spot Exchange Rate
The exchange rate for which two parties agree to trade two currencies at the present moment. The spot exchange rate is usually at or close to the current market rate because the transaction occurs in real time and not at some point in the future. Some analysts believe that forward rates are an accurate predictor of future spot rates, though many others dispute this. See also: Forward exchange.
