1. Assume the following information:
Exchange rate of Singapore dollar in USD = 0.32 USD/SGD
Exchange rate of pound in USD = 1.46 USD/GBP
Exchange rate of pound in Singapore dollars = 4.92 SGD/GBP
If you have 1 million USD to conduct one cycle of triangular arbitrage, what will be your profit?
2. Assume the following information:
1-year interest rate on U.S. dollars = 10.9%
1-year interest rate on Singapore dollars = 10.9%
Spot rate of Singapore dollar = 0.47 USD/SGD
1-year forward premium on Singapore dollars = 3.97%
Given this information, how much profit can be made with covered interest arbitrage, by borrowing 1 million USD?
