Ah, I remember learning about this in my FX trading class. Spot FX trades typically settle on the second business day after the trade date, so the correct answer is T+2, option C.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know spot FX trades have a shorter settlement period than futures or forwards, but I can't remember if it's T+1 or T+2. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure a spot FX trade follows the T+2 settlement convention, so I'll go with option C.

Haha, I bet the exam writer tried to trick us with those other options. T + 2 days is the only way to fly when it comes to spot FX.
