What it is
The extra interest mid-rated companies pay to borrow. When it rises, credit gets dearer. Moody's seasoned Baa corporate bond yield minus the 10-year Treasury yield. Part of the theme "Access to credit": Whether borrowing is easy or expensive for companies.
How to read it
Higher means more risk. The colour compares today’s value with the indicator’s own last 10 years: "Good" is the most favourable third of its history, "Poor" the most strained. It describes the present and anticipates nothing.
