Arbitration

The term refers to arbitrage buying currency speculators in the monetary center, where it is cheaper for immediate sale in monetary center, where it is more expensive to make a profit on the arbitrage process helps in maintaining the exchange rate between any two currencies the same in different monetary centers.

Example:

If the dollar price of pounds were $ 1.98 in New York and London $ 2.01 for arbitrager (usually a commercial bank or foreign exchange dealer) will buy pounds at $ 1 ... 1998 in New York and immediately resell them in London for $ 2.01, which realized a profit of $ 0.03 per pound.

However, as arbitration continues, arte exchange between two currencies tends to be equated in the two monetary centers. What actually happens is that sales of pounds in London increases the supply of pounds there, which will result in a reduction in the dollar price of pounds in London. In New York, arbitration demand for dollars in New York, which increases the dollar price of pounds in New York. This process continues until the dollar prices become equal in both countries so that arbitration remains profitable now.
