3-mth dollar Libor at record low; euro rate steady
LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - The interbank cost of borrowing dollars for three months fell to a record low on Monday, while the equivalent rates for euros and sterling held steady, the latest daily fixing from the British Bankers' Association showed.
The spreads of three-month London interbank offered rates over OIS rates for all three currencies widened slightly.
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.
