3-mth dollar Libor hits record low, euro rate eases
LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The interbank cost of borrowing dollars for three months marked a fresh record low on Monday but the equivalent rate for sterling funds inched up, the latest daily fixing from the British Bankers' Association showed.
Three-month euro Libor also edged lower.
The spread of three-month London interbank offered rates over OIS rates for dollars edged out slightly, while that for euros narrowed and for sterling remained unchanged.
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.
