Spot. ① Products that have physical properties and can be actually delivered in the process of commodity futures trading, such as gold and soybeans. When trading, the seller shall deliver the goods to the buyer on the maturity date of the futures contract.

That is, goods that can be delivered immediately are ordinary goods traded in the market. After the transaction is completed, the seller delivers it to the buyer, and the buyer pays the payment. Rather than commodities traded under futures contracts.
