Sample text
When a futures contract trades above its fair value, a cash and carry arbitrage opportunity arises. The arbitrageur would immediately buy the asset at the spot price to hold it until the settlement date, and at the same time sell the future at the market’s futures price. At the delivery date, he would have made a profit equal to the difference between the market’s futures price and the theoretical fair value. Alternatively, a reverse cash and carry arbitrage opportunity occurs when the future is trading below its fair value.
