This morning you have found out the following quotations: EUR/CZK USD/CZK GBP/EUR EUR/USD PLN/CZK 28.460 - 80 20.005 - 23 1.3715-29 1.4000 - 15 6.1254 - 92 FR EUR/USD 1.3942 - 55 3-month US (USD) lend rate 2.52% p. a. 3-month US (USD) borrow rate 2.56% p. a. 3-month French (EUR) lend rate 2.59% p. a. 3-month French (EUR) borrow rate 2.63% p. a. Would you tell your boss that a triangular arbitrage is profitable? When the limit is 10 million EUR, what size of profit could you achieve? Exercise 2 (5 points) Given the exchange rates and interest rates quotations in the previous exercise, would you suggest that the company takes a loan in EUR or USD to capitalize on a market discrepancy? Your company can borrow 14 million USD (10 million EUR respectively). Calculate the profit from the interest rate arbitrage.
