Uncovered Interest Arbitrage is a form of arbitrage that involves switching from a domestic currency that carries a lower interest rate to a foreign currency that offers a higher rate of interest on deposits. The term "uncovered" in this arbitrage refers to the fact that this foreign exchange risk is not covered through a forward or futures contract.This type of arbitrage can be profitable if the investor correctly predicts the direction of future exchange rates. However, if the investor's prediction is incorrect, they may incur losses due to fluctuations in the exchange rate.
