There are still opportunities for arb trade. We can immediately execute arb trading if sufficient spread occurs before the Green Cross Cell trading suspension (October 28).
However, it is uncertain whether we will see a spread of more than 4% again from now as the cancellation risk, which was the only risk of this event, disappeared.
Still, it seems worthwhile to keep an eye on the spread movement until the trading suspension date.
