European banks’ reluctance to lend to one another held near the lowest in more than 14 months, according to a money market indicator.

The difference between the euro interbank offered rate and overnight indexed swaps, known as the Euribor-OIS spread, was 20 basis points, or 0.2 percentage point, at 11:42 a.m. in London, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gap is the smallest since June 20, 2011.
