ARBITRAGE IS OF 2 TYPES

1. GEOGRAPHICAL

2.COVERED INTERST

IS YOUR PROB IS COMPLETE?

You are taking about Foreign exchange arbitrage and i am taking about Forward rate agreement arbitrage.

ARBITRAGE NOT POSSIBLE IN THIS CASE.... CALCULATE FAIR FRA AND COMAPARE WITH DEPOSIT FOR 6 MONTH @ 10%( SAME ACTION THAT IN DERIVATIVE OPTION ONLY DIFF FIRST CALCULATE FAIR FRA... REMEMBER BANK LEND AT HIGH RATE AND DEPOSIT AT LOW RATE WHILE CALCULATING FAIR FRA.. ALSO WHILE CHECKING DO CHECK BOTH OPTION OR SIMPLY GO WITH AMOUNT AND CHECK ( 2ND TECHNIQUE)
