1. arbitrage

   Arbitrage is a financial strategy where an individual or entity takes advantage of price differences for the same asset in different markets or in different forms. This is done by simultaneously buying at a lower price in one market and selling at a higher price in another market, with the aim of making a profit without taking any significant risk. This strategy is commonly used in securities, commodities, and foreign exchange trading. It helps to maintain price efficiency in the markets.

1. Arbitrage

   In economics and finance, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices. When used by academics, an arbitrage is a transaction that involves no negative cash flow at any probabilistic or temporal state and a positive cash flow in at least one state; in simple terms, it is the possibility of a risk-free profit at zero cost. In principle and in academic use, an arbitrage is risk-free; in common use, as in statistical arbitrage, it may refer to expected profit, though losses may occur, and in practice, there are always risks in arbitrage, some minor, some major. In academic use, an arbitrage involves taking advantage of differences in price of a single asset or identical cash-flows; in common use, it is also used to refer to differences between similar assets, as in merger arbitrage. People who engage in arbitrage are called arbitrageurs —such as a bank or brokerage firm. The term is mainly applied to trading in financial instruments, such as bonds, stocks, derivatives, commodities and currencies.
