Abstract

The article reports that the London interbank offered rate (Libor), the interest rate banks charge one another for short-term loans, rose significantly for the second straight day. This could result in higher interest rate costs for homeowners and corporations. Approximately $10 trillion in mortgage loans and corporate debts worldwide have their interest rates pegged to Libor.
