Ted Spread A Warning or Just Guff?

Posted by StockBuz on February 19, 2011 at 11:00am
No fear mongering here but the the Ted spread [spread between the 3mos Libor and 3mos Treasury bill] has risen as of late and I'm keeping an eye on the ADX as a signal of a possible bullish move in Ted which could prove bearish for equities. The Ted spread is basically [to me] like the VIX. If banks see cause for concern over the next 3 mos., they would rather pay the higher premium for the Libor than 3mos UST. A simplist view I know but for more on understanding the Ted spread visit the Professors at Econobrower @ http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2008/09/understanding_t.html You can also view this article by Bloomberg from 2008 on the Ted Spread and the markets opinion of the indicator at the time. http://bloom.bg/esNzVe
