Recently, a graph which compares the target fed funds rate to the U.S. Prime Rate, the one-month LIBOR rate and the three-month LIBOR rate was added to the site. It's a fascinating and telling chart which essentially chronicles the history of the global credit crisis. As numerous banks in the industrialized world were failing as a result of exposure to toxic debt, the Federal Reserve aggressively cut short-term rates to record-low levels. Commercial banks, on the other hand, responded to the same financial havoc by raising rates on unsecured, short-term interbank loans, because the risk associated with such loans increased dramatically. The resultant and precipitous decline in interbank lending produced a domino effect which led to a chocking off of lending to businesses and consumers in the U.S. and other developed nations.
