The operation is always at a loss: selling X amount of resource A for Y amount of resource B, and then doing the reverse operation of trading Y amount resource B back for Z amount of resource A, will always give final result of Z much lesser than the starting X. This roughly follows the following formula:
400 units will be traded back for (n+1)² units, where n is the amount of cities with marketplaces that you own, capped to 9.
You can also give resources to enemies or allies.
