Libor

Libor stands for London Inter Bank Offering Rate. Libor rates are an average of the interest on deposits that are made in dollars – which are also called Eurodollars – and passed among London banks. International finances are based on the Euro Dollar market and therefore on the Libor rate. London is where the Euro market is based because that is where the bulk of exchanges occur and therefore where Libor market and Libor interest rates are created.

Another definition for Libor is an index that is decided by the international conditions and economies. A Libor index is the result of investors the world over comparing how much money it costs them to lend money and how much money their funds cost.

Today’s current Libor index rates may vary greatly from historical or future Libor index rates. In fact, a Libor market will bounce up and down more than a COFI rate. It is very similar to a 1 year CMT index in that respect.

You can find a Libor index rate or a Libor loan and use it like an ARM index for a varied amount of time. A 1 month Libor loan, a 3 month Libor loan, a 6 month Libor loan, and a 1 year Libor loan are all available to you. The most common Libor loan is the six month Libor loan.

In the beginning a Libor indexed ARM has very low rates, lower even than most ARM’s. For the first time there is fierce competition among common indexes like the 11th District Cost of Funds, the six month Treasury bill and the six month certificate of deposit.
