I fear the world, as we know it now, is going to vanish. God help us.
What I find so alarming is how easily this is happening ..our freedom is vanishing before our eyes.
When the LIBOR goes up, like it did in early October, THAT'S when the BIG lenders that have been around for CENTURIES think that the risk is too high to loan money to the banks and for commercial investments and the set a higher lending rate. Now that the prime lending rate is near ZERO in the US and the UK, the LIBOR is obviously affected.
There IS also a tipping point, especially when the money ISN'T flowing that even the LIBOR will drop lower because they can't find enough large institutions to loan money to (supply and demand).
For now though, the LIBOR seems stable, when looking at the 6-MONTH RANGE. But if the large dominoes start to fall, watch the LIBOR rise sharply.
