Answer:

arbitration

Step-by-step explanation:

Arbitration occurs when the price of a security or a commodity varies significantly between different markets. For example, I purchase gold in the United Kingdom at a lower price than in the United States, and I bring it to the United States and make a profit. Arbitration opportunities result from market inefficiencies and a lack of a single price.
