Moody's Liquidity Stress Index improves for seventh month; remains below historical average
New York, November 17, 2016-- Moody's Liquidity Stress Index edged lower to 6.2% at mid-November from 6.6% at the end of October, setting the stage for a likely eighth straight month of improvement, Moody's Investors Service says in its latest edition of SGL Monitor. The index also fell further below its 6.8% long-term average, reflecting the ongoing strength of the credit markets. The LSI falls when corporate liquidity appears to improve, and rises when it appears to weaken.
