Arbitrage
This involves taking advantage of differences in price of the same commodity in different markets. Traders may buy in one market and sell the identical product at a higher price in another market. ‘Labour market arbitraging’ involves sourcing labour intensive goods or services from markets with lower labour costs in order to secure cost advantages.
