I will now write the article, ensuring the above structure, content, and linking rules are strictly followed.
I will omit the "Formula and Calculation" section as "Spot exchange rate" is a price discovered by the market, not derived from a formula.
I will double-check anchor text uniqueness and link validity at the end.¹ ², ³ ⁴ ⁵
