RTRS: Euro, stg dollar 3-mth rates at new record lows
The interbank cost of borrowing
dollars, euros and sterling for three-months hit record lows on
Friday, according to the latest daily fixing from the British
Bankers' Association.
The spread of three-month London interbank offered rates
over OIS rates for dollars was unchanged, while the equivalent
sterling and euro spreads inched tighter.
The spread expresses the three-month premium paid over
anticipated central bank rates, or Overnight Index Swap rates
and is seen as a gauge of banks' willingness to lend to each
other -- a wider spread is seen as an indication of decreased
inclination to lend.
Below is a table of the London interbank offered rates
(Libor) for dollar, euro and sterling funds in percentage terms,
with the change from the previous session in parentheses.
