I'm not sure what posters here are using for credit spreads I used the link from the forum header Corporate bond spreads: Message 21439696 And the DJ CDX index site: djindexes.com djindexes.com I'm gleaning the one year constant maturity Treasury (5.06%) and the seasoned BAA (6.53%) from the Fed's site. The spreads at 1.47% are near the lows of the year, nirvana reigns What is the term of the seasoned BAA? I think you are mixing short term paper with a longer term paper. IMHO what you are reading is a yield curve figure not a default risk figure. The S&P credit spread figures hit a low back in early 05: Message 22747305 YanivBA.
