Arbitrage versus Equilibrium
What happens when investors take advantage of arbitrage? ▪
What should happen to the prices in the example? Of Asset A and B? Of Asset C?
Arbitrage is ‘Self-Eliminating’–Equilibrium is restored. ▪

Non Arbitrage Pricing
If markets are efficient and in equilibrium… There is no arbitrage.
This can either Set a limit on prices, or Determine prices exactly.

Notation
We need to distinguish: Real (empirical or market) data, and Values predicted by a theory
The simple no arbitrage example: The actual price of asset C is $50.00 The predicted, no arbitrage value is $55.00
Subscripts will distinguish theoretical values: P = $50.00 PNA = $55.00 (NA for no arbitrage)

Spot and Forward Rates
What is the relationship between spot and forward rates?
Could… S($/£) = 1.7700, and F6($/£) = 1.7720 ▪
Would this allow arbitrage? Depends! ▪

FX Rates and Interest Rates
Any spot rate can exist with any forward rate, but…
There will be arbitrage if the risk free rates of interest are not correct.

Interest Rate Parity
A ‘parity’ relationship holds if arbitrage is not possible.
Interest rate parity (IRP) is a relationship between The domestic risk free rate The foreign risk free rate The spot rate The forward rate

Two Strategies/Same Investment Dollar Strategy...
1. Make a risk free investment with dollars. Non-Dollar Strategy simultaneously...
1. Convert dollars into pounds.2. Make a risk free investment with the pounds.3. Sell the proceeds from (2) forward for dollars
Same investment In both strategies, you... Begin with dollars Make only risk free investments End with dollars

If both strategies yield the same amount, then there is no arbitrage. Note: buying/selling forward required to eliminate
FX risk! For this to occur, the following relationship must hold:
This is the interest rate parity (IRP) requirement. FIRP is the forward rate predicted by IRP. ▪
