The 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-Month Eurodollar LIBOR Yields All Climbed Higher Today
The 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month Eurodollar LIBOR yields all climbed higher today. For the week, the 1-, 3- and 6-month yields declined, while the 12-month yield rose.
Right now, the yield on the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill is 0.115%. Therefore, the TED spread is currently 1.0275 percentage points; it was 0.98563 yesterday, 1.195 last Friday and 4.34 on October 15, 2008. For the TED spread, a figure between zero and 50 basis points (50 basis points = 0.50 percentage point) is a strong indication that the international banking system is normal and healthy.

A Eurodollar is a U.S. dollar deposited in any bank outside the United States, and therefore not subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Reserve. U.S. dollars deposited in a London bank are Eurodollars, as are U.S. dollars deposited in a bank in e.g. Bolivia.
