From MarketWatch: More signs of thaw apparent as money-market tensions ease
The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, for three-month dollar loans fell to 4.05875%, down sharply from 4.41875% on Friday.The TED spread is now down to 3.2. Still very high, but showing progress.

The rate remains abnormally high, but it's climbed down from peaks set earlier this month as financial institutions all but halted loans to each other amid fears of further bank failures.
