1-Month LIBOR Joins 3-Month LIBOR Above U.S. Prime
Key LIBOR rates ended the day higher despite yesterday's rate cuts by central banks the world over. Of particular significance: the one-month and three-month LIBOR rates are currently above the U.S. Prime Rate. The Federal Reserve cut the target for the fed funds rate to 1.50% yesterday, so the U.S. Prime Rate is currently 4.50%.
