LONDON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Euro and sterling interbank deposit rates were indicated lower on Friday, a day after the European Central Bank -- and more notably -- the Bank of England cut official policy interest rates.
The fall in money market rates, however, was not as steep as the central bank rate cuts, which were half a percentage point in the euro zone and a surprisingly large 150 basis points from the BoE.
In early London trading on Friday three-month sterling deposit rates were indicated in a range of 3.3 to 4.6 percent
Comparable euro deposit rates were indicated in a range of 4.25 to 4.5 percent
Three-month dollar deposit rates were little changed from a day earlier in a range of 2.2-3.2 percent
Interbank deposit rates are only indicative prices of where banks are lending to each other, which institutions use as a base to set their own lending rates.
