1-, 3-, 6- and 12-Month Eurodollar LIBOR Rates All Jumped Higher Today
The 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month Eurodollar LIBOR rates all climbed higher today, continuing an upward trend that began last Thursday.
The yield on the 13-week U.S. Treasury Bill is currently 0.04%. Therefore, the TED spread is currently 2.18 percentage points; it was 2.17688 last Friday and 4.34 on October 15, 2008. A TED spread between zero and 1.00 percentage point is considered within the normal range.

A Eurodollar is a U.S. dollar deposited in any bank outside the United States, and therefore not subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Reserve. U.S. dollars deposited in a London bank are Eurodollars, as are U.S. dollars deposited in a bank in Brazil.
