Right now, the yield on the 91-day U.S. Treasury Bill is 0.095%. Therefore, the TED spread is currently 0.99688 percentage point; it was 0.96438 yesterday, 0.97188 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 capital is flowing through international credit markets normally.
