The One-, Three- and Six-Month Eurodollar LIBOR Rates Sank Lower On The Week

The one-, three- and six-month Eurodollar LIBOR rates sank lower on the week, while the 12-month rate advanced. On the day, the 3-, 6- and 12-month rates declined, while the one-month rate remained static. The 3-month TED spread contracted on both the day and the week.

Right now, the yield on the 91-day U.S. Treasury Bill is 0.17%. Therefore, the 3-month TED spread is currently 0.29125 percentage point; it was 0.29438 yesterday, 0.30438 last Friday and 4.60875 on October 10, 2008 during the peak of the global credit crisis.

For the 3-month TED spread, a figure between zero and 0.50 percentage point (0.50 percentage point = 50 basis points) is a strong indication that large, international banks are lending money to each other with confidence.


A Eurodollar is a U.S. dollar deposited in any bank outside the United States.
