    It totally clicked for me when you said that I could "go 1 of 2 ways." 🤯 This was confusing in my book: I didn't think about going one way OR another (resulting in either a profit OR a loss); I only thought we could go one way and you either made a profit or not. This illustration showed me what I was missing. Thank you so much for this!

      when i calculate, it is actually a loss if selling from bank A to B and C. So I guess it is either profit or loss

    I did the same steps except I realized the cross rate was wrong between dollars and pounds so I exchanged yen to pounds, pounds to dollars and then back to yen. The visualization is very helpful!

    Omg. You need to take over for my finance teacher. Her explanation was no where even near this! Didn't even use a triangle to explain it! (Hence triangular arbitrage) This makes so much more sense!

    The idea is to determine if there is a difference between the quoted cross-rate and the implied cross-rate. If so, we buy at the lower price and sell at the higher price and make arbitrage profit.
    If there is no difference between the quoted cross-rate and the implied cross-rate, we would be buying and selling at the same price so there would not be an arbitrage profit.

    Unfortunately, there is no cookbook approach. You could work both alternatives out, or analyze a problem keeping these issues in mind:
    (1) Identify the currency that you are trading in. This is generally given to you
    (2) Find the implied cross rate such that the trading currency is a part of the implied cross rate
    (3) Compare the implied cross rate to the given cross rate
    (4) Sell your currency to the bank that would give you a higher amount
    (5) Follow the path and complete the problem

  • @collegefinance

    Currencies are generally paired with the US dollar. When a currency is paired with another currency that is not a US dollar, we have a cross-rate.
    So when the yen is paired with the British pound, we have a cross-rate of 128 yen per British pound.

  • @collegefinance

    You want to make sure that the implied cross rate contains the currency in which you want to trade, in this example it's the yen.

    Very useful video. But I've still got confuse in some place in my exercise.
    Q: The following exchange rates are available to you
    Fuji Bank ¥120/$
    Rushmore bank SF1.6/$
    Matterhorn bank ¥80/SF
    Assume that you have SF10,000,000. Calculate two transactions using triangular arbitrage and demonstrate whether it is possible to make a profit.
    Thank you:)

    • @collegefinance

      Sabrina Cheung , you just need to follow the same process. I'll outline the steps below to help you:
      1) Convert 10,000,000 Swiss francs at receive 800,000,000 yen
      2) Convert 800,000,000 yen at Mt. Fuji to receive $6,666,666.67
      3) Convert $6,666,666.67 at Mt. Rushmore to receive 10,666,666.67 Swiss francs
      4) The arbitrage profit = 10,666,666.67 - 10,000,000 = 666,666.67 Swiss francs

  • @LagartaGCB
    @LagartaGCB 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Could you include an example that includes the bid-ask/offer spreads included in this calculation. Also, many arbitrageurs lever themselves, as the risk is mitigated. I would want to see an example where the arbitrageur starts with 0 units of currency. The first step would be borrowing at spot rate in base currency, conversion to price currency, sell forward against base currency, lend price currency for 90 days at price domiciled interest rate, then convert back to base currency, and pay back interest on initial borrowing with proceeds of lending in price domiciled country. You might have a nice little arbitrage profit. And start with 0 currency units.

  • @jessicaprettyleaf3410
    @jessicaprettyleaf3410 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When starting with Bank C why do you divide 100,000,000 yen by 128 and then multiply the other 2 (bank B and A)?

    • @collegefinance
      @collegefinance  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      It all depends on what currency you're converting from and what currency you're converting to. This video should help clarify the issue: th-cam.com/video/BLg8YmmGe0c/w-d-xo.html

    • @collegefinance
      @collegefinance  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you convert at bank C, you need 128 yen to get a pound so we divide 100,000,000 yen to determine the number of pounds. When you convert pounds to dollars, you get $1.60 for each pound you sell so we multiply. For more details on this you can check out the following video:

    how to identify the cross rate ?

    • @collegefinance
      @collegefinance  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Jack Moshi, most currency pairs have the US dollar in them such as ¥120/$ or $1.50/£. Sometimes, you find currency pairs that do not have the US dollar in them and they are cross-rates. An example would be €1.25/£.

      There is no standard sequence. You have to follow the currency you are starting with.

    What should we do if 1000000 is given in $ ?

    • @collegefinance
      @collegefinance  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In that case you would find the implied yen/dollar rate by dividing 128 yen/pound by $1.60/pound and coming up with 80 yen/dollar. Now start with Bank A, then Bank C, and finally convert pounds into dollars at Bank B.
