International Market



The pool of CA$ offers on the market rebounded today, climbing to $3,690.20, a 27.5% increase of $795.62 from yesterday's $2,894.58. This ends a five day run of drops.

On average, these offers are seeking 0.0299 gold per CA$1.00 which up .0006 from yesterday. Coincidentally, the eCanadian government proposed an issue of CA$4,000 today, this should put downward pressure on the value of the CA$1.00.

Previous eCanadian government approvals of money issues are as follows:
Day 671 = CA$40,000.00, trading @ .0291
Day 663 = CA$30,000.00, trading @ .0302

I'm currrently recommending to hold CA$ or move from gold to CA$. I do not believe that the proposed money issue of $CA4,000 is enough to dilute the value of the CA$.

Local Market



The offers of gold totaled 197.81, up slightly by 2.85 or 1.5%, over yesterday's 194.96 gold. The CA$ sought in return for offers of gold averaged $35.548, down slightly by $0.096 or 0.3%, from yesterday's $35.644.

The supply of gold offers has been consistently between 150 and 200 for a week now.

The cheapest offer for 1 gold was CA$35.369.

Arbitrage



Arbitrage represents the opportunity to make money via trading currencies. The opportunity exists if you can find another currency which trades with CA$ or gold, depending on what you are holding, between these two sums. The trick is to find it. If I find one, I'll publish it however they are tough to find and don't last long.

The implied rate on the local market is 0.0281 gold per CA$, calculated as 1G/CA$35.548. The international rate is 0.0299. The arbitrage, or spread between the two, is 0.0018. This is a relatively large spread and bodes for higher volumes of trading activity as it is easier to find that third instrument to take advantage of that spread.
