Buy gold in New-York and sell in Shanghai (hint: physical)
Interesting to see the price in New-York and in Shanghai (Shanghai Gold Exchange).
Arbitrage coming ?
COMEX will have to work very hard :).

Watch transaction cost, Gabe.
The paper gold transaction is 0.80yuan per gram. Physical is another story.
One needs to take delivery on COMEX and then sell on Shanghai. Shanghai is a physical amrket. You have to show gold in possession before one can sell.
The whole purpose of this market is to avoid the paper play in gold. ADD: cost shppement, insurance, interest commission etc.
By that time trader will be at loss.
Agree. The spread after transaction costs plus time lag increase risks
The only advantage is that traders/investors will track the premium/discount COMEX/Shanghai POG for gold trend.
