Monday’s Numbers: July 2, 2012

The Trepp, LLC survey showed spreads unchanged during the survey period as the markets continued to languish, waiting for…the Supreme Court, the EU and European Central bank, the Federal Reserve, the heat wave baking the majority of the country to abate…who knows. Meanwhile, lenders continue to quote loans at rates based upon floor pricing which remains very attractive.

The Trepp, LLC survey showed spreads unchanged during the survey period as the markets continued to languish. Market participants have had plenty to wait for lately: Supreme Court decisions, European Union and European Central Bank actions, Federal Reserve announcements, and a break in the heat wave that has been baking most of the country. Meanwhile, lenders continue to quote loans at rates based upon floor pricing which remains very attractive.

This week should be a slow (and hopefully uneventful) one given the positioning of the July 4th holiday mid-week. Happy holiday to all!
