TED Spread Improves
The TED Spread from Bloomberg:
The TED spread has declined to 1.17%. Still high, but falling.
Note: the TED spread is the difference between the three month T-bill and the LIBOR interest rate. Usually the TED spread is less than 0.5%. The higher the spread, the greater the perceived credit risks (compared to "risk free" treasuries).
