Prime Rate - Currently 3.25%
The Prime Rate is the interest rate charged by banks for short-term loans to
their most creditworthy customers whose credit standing is so high that little
risk to the lender is involved. Only a small percentage of customers qualify
for the prime rate, which tends to be the lowest going interest rate and thus
serves as a basis for other, higher risk loans.
The rate is almost always the same amongst major banks.
Adjustments to the prime rate are made by banks at the same time;
although, the prime rate does not adjust on any regular basis.
The Prime Rate is defined by The Wall Street Journal
as "The base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75%
of the nation's 30 largest banks."
Libor Rate
London Inter Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) is an average of
the interest rate on dollar-denominated deposits, also known as
Eurodollars, traded between banks in London. The Eurodollar market
is a major component of the International financial market. London
is the center of the Euromarket in terms of volume. The LIBOR is
an international index which follows the world economic condition.
It allows international investors to match their cost of lending
to their cost of funds. There are several different LIBOR rates
widely used as ARM indexes: 1-, 3-, 6- Month, and 1-Year LIBOR.
The 6-Month LIBOR is the most common.
