    Primary markets deal in new issues of loanable funds

    An over-the-counter (OTC) derivative is a financial contract that does not trade on an asset exchange, and which can be tailored to each party’s needs.

    So it is primary

    Yes….

    Futures began to trade for commodities such as wheat and gold and over the years have expanded to include financial futures such as futures on Treasury securities . They are standardised contract terms which allow for a very liquid secondary market.

    In the world of foreign exchange (Forex) trading, you are correct, there are two main types of markets that traders can participate in: over-the-counter (OTC) Forex and secondary Forex.

    In terms of market share, OTC Forex is far and away the dominant player, with a market share of approximately 95%.
    This is because the OTC Forex market is global, decentralised, and accessible to virtually anyone with a computer or smartphone.
    On the other hand, the secondary Forex market consists of a more limited range of participants, including banks, hedge funds, and other financial institutions.
