Spot-future parity is a financial principle that defines the relationship between the spot price of an asset and its futures price in a frictionless and efficient market. According to this concept, the current spot price of an asset and its futures price should be in equilibrium, taking into account the cost of carry. The cost of carry includes factors such as storage costs, financing costs, and any income generated from holding the asset (like dividends or interest).
