Profit from Triangular Arbitrage A bank is willing to buy dollars for 0.9 euro per dollar. It is willing to sell dollars for 0.91 euro per dollar. Also consider the following information:

You can sell Australian dollars (AS) to the bank for S0.72.

You can buy Australian dollars from the bank for S0.74.

The bank is willing to buy Australian dollars (AS) for 0.68 euro per A$0.

The bank is willing to sell Australian dollars (AS) for 0.70 euro per A$0.
