9. A corporate treasury working out of Austria with operations in New York, simultaneously calls Citibank in New York City and Barclays in London. The banks give the following quotes on the euro simultaneously.
|
Citibank NYC |
Barclays London |
|
$0.8464-74/Ac‚¬ |
$0.8437-57/Ac‚¬ |
a. Using $1 million (or its euro equivalent), show how the corporate treasury could make geographic arbitrage profit with the two different exchange rate quotes. b. Suppose the banks update their quotes to the following:
|
Citibank NYC |
Barclays London |
|
$0.8454-71/Ac‚¬ |
$0.8440-62/Ac‚¬ |
Is there still an arbitrage opportunity? Why or why not?
