underlying cash markets

underlying cash markets
The markets for financial instruments upon which a futures or options contract is based. These tend to be homogeneous or a 'basket' of like instruments, e.g. 3 month sterling interest rates, German government bonds with 8 1/2 - 10 years to maturity. (In the case of options on futures, the underlying instrument is the futures contract.)
