Spot FX - Deepstash

Spot FX

The spot FX market is an “off-exchange” market/an over-the-counter (“OTC”) market that operates 24 hours a day.

A spot FX transaction is a bilateral (“between two parties”) agreement to physically exchange one currency against another currency.

The agreement is a contract. This means this spot contract is a binding obligation to buy/sell a certain amount of foreign currency at a price that is the “spot exchange rate”/the current exchange rate.

The delivery of what you buy/sell should be done within 2 working days and is referred to as the value date or delivery date.
