3-mth euro, dlr Libor fall, stg Libor rises
LONDON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The interbank cost of borrowing euros and dollars for three months eased on Tuesday but the equivalent rate for sterling rose, according to the latest daily fixing from the British Bankers' Association.
The three-month euro Libor matched a record low of 0.69063 percent last seen at the fixing on Wednesday.
The spread of three-month London interbank offered rates over OIS rates for dollars widened by two basis points to 14 basis points. The equivalent spread for euros was unchanged at 25 bps and for sterling narrowed by two bps to 18 bps.
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.
