 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.
