3-mth dollar Libor marks record low; euro edges up
LONDON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - The interbank cost of borrowing dollars for three months marked a record low on Tuesday but the equivalent euro and sterling rates edged up, the latest daily fixing from the British Bankers' Association showed.
The spread of three-month London interbank offered rates over OIS rates for dollars stayed unchanged at 14 basis points, while that for euros narrowed 2 basis points to 22 bps. The sterling spread widened 1 bp to 23 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.
