Commodity arbitrage means transactions involving purchases and sales of a given commodity in different markets to profit from price differences. In the absence of transport costs and trade barriers, if price of a given good differs in two countries, arbitragers would buy where it is cheap and sell where it is more expensive. Such transactions would equalise the prices.

CONT

... commodity arbitrage is a strategy that seeks to exploit differences in valuation between commodity-based equities and the underlying commodity itself, or between related commodities. For example, the portfolio adviser may initiate a long position in the stock of an undervalued energy company, and simultaneously establish a short position in oil futures as a hedge.

CONT

L’arbitrage entre produits est un genre d’activité de placement basée sur la valeur relative qui cherche à exploiter les écarts de prix entre les obligations convertibles d’une entreprise et les titres de participation sous-jacents de cette même entreprise. Une position type comprendrait l’achat d’une obligation convertible et une position vendeur à l’égard du titre de participation correspondant. Le but de ce genre de placement est de générer un profit à la fois à l’égard de la position acheteur et de la position vendeur. Les rendements ont tendance à avoir une corrélation basse par rapport aux marchés des titres de participation.

CONT

[...] l'arbitrage entre produits se fait, par exemple, entre les contrats à terme ou les options et les valeurs sous-jacentes.
