The Trepp LLC survey showed spreads widening 10 to 15 basis point solely in reaction to Treasury yields dropping, then regaining a little luster. With the 10-year Treasury trading at 1.64 percent (as of June 9) and spreads averaging 228 basis points, all-in cost remains in the very attractive 4.00 percent range, subject to floor pricing by most lenders.
