Realistbear Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Watch IR soar if Ben cuts again in the US. The last time he cut, the 30 year fixed went over 7%! I suspect Merv has seen what has happened in the US and thinks it best to stand pat as to cut might send Libor up up and away. The CBs are locked up no matter what they do IR are rising. You cannot beat the market and the markert is screaming two things: 1. Risk 2. Inflation That means higher IR.

thecrashingisles Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Does anyone know of a link to live LIBOR? It's only set once per day so there isn't 'live' LIBOR as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobajobbob Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hmm I might start lending cash on the money markets at these levels. If I do a MM operation through my bank HSBC is there any protection in the event that they lend the cash to Bearsterns and I lose it all?

geevna Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 It's only set once per day so there isn't 'live' LIBOR as such. Gotcha... Negotiating some terms with Barclays as I type. Guy just said 5.92% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symo Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Oh yes, this time though no cutting at the BofE after all, they can't trust what the banks told them the LIBOR rate was; what with the last revelation. Still the MPC would be better concentrating on inflation. Like they are supposed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
