Fed data out for Friday the 20th the day the market tanked.

Incredibly credit and interest rate swaps narrowed slightly. Then yesterday short rates inverted even more on the T-bill auction. These junk spreads and interest rate swaps are under the gun, but won't crack;

BAA: 6.19
1 year CMT: 4.44%
spread 1.75%

1 month financial commercial paper: 4.39%
We get a 4 week T-bill auction today, asking $2 billion in new money. This CP rate means lenders would rather take 4.39% for a month loaning to some financial institution over a 3 month t-bill at 4.40%, go figure? Bank depositors are taking even less.

3 year interest rate swap: 4.74%
3 month Libor: 4.62%
swap spread is 12 bps
