Forward Market

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Corporate Finance » Forward Market

The forward market is a financial marketplace where participants can buy and sell financial instruments or commodities for future delivery at a predetermined price. It is primarily used for hedging and speculation purposes, allowing parties to lock in prices to mitigate the risk of price fluctuations. The forward market is distinct from the spot market, where transactions occur immediately. Understanding “what is forward market” is crucial for managing financial risk.
