Currently, a forward contract with a 9 month maturity is priced at $1,976.80. Assume regular compounding. a. Is the market at, above or below full carry? Is this an example of the basis or the spread? b. Discuss the process of taking advantage of this arbitrage opportunity and the resulting gain or loss. c. If this forward were correctly priced (using the “model” forward price) and there were no storage costs or income payments, what would be the implied repo rate?
