Euro Money Market:

the Unofficial European Systemic Risk Dashboard

(Tableau de bord du risque financier en zone euro)

Note 1 :
During financial crisis, negative short-term yields on government bonds are a sign of fear among investors. Many of them pulled money out of investments seen as risky, pouring cash into the safest securities they could find. Usually, it is short-term government debt, or gold.
This surge in demand pushes up prices. Yields, which move in the opposite direction, tumble sometimes below zero. Since then, negative yields on short-term government debt have happened somewhat regularly, partly reflecting the shrinking supply of investments that investors see as safe even as U.S. stock markets climb.

Note 3 :
ECB browsed this page which was initiated Q1 2012; ECB releases now every 3 months the official European Systemic Risk Dashboard since 09/2012 :
The refinancing rate is the rate at which the ECB lends money to commercial financial institutions like banks. By changing this interest rate, the ECB can influence the interest rates on the money en capital markets like Euribor and Eonia. Indirectly, by changing the interest rates, the ECB can influence inflation. When the ECB announces an ECB interest rate cut or an ECB interest rate rise, most of the time the refinancing rate is meant.


You can observe the peak starting in Dec. 2011 (column A / ECB) both for 7 and 84 days maturities.

Euribor 

The Euro Interbank Offered Rate - or EURIBOR - is the average rate for large interbank term deposits offered by European Union member banks to other financial institutions in the EU banking system. EURIBOR rates are also used as a reference rate for forward rate agreements and interest rate swaps denominated in the euro.

The following yield shows the rates at which short-term Euro lending is done on a unsecured basis (non collateralized lending). The panel includes more than 30 banks. Volumes are low.

Data serie up to 09/05/2013:

This yield curve represents the pan-Eurozone interest rates implied by the most currently used lending transactions. It shows the rates at which short-term Euro lending is done on a secured basis (collateralized lending). The Eurepo curve shows the repo rate for Euro borrowing among European banks at maturities from 1-day to 1-year. We can interpret this inverted curve as a sign that banks are unwilling to commit the collateral (required for the repo) beyond a 1-month contract. (source)
