Today, the LIBOR-OIS spread is considered a key measure of credit risk within the banking sector.
The LIBOR-OIS spread represents the difference between an interest rate with some credit risk built in and one that is virtually free of such hazards. Therefore, when the gap widens, it’s a good sign that the financial sector is on edge.

When short-term rates move up sharply (pace) and quickly (sequence), a liquidity issue is likely to happen because banks become much more reluctant to lend for two reasons:
1. Refraining from lending low/"cheap" today in order to lend high/"expensive" tomorrow. A sort of "lending contango*"
2. Heightened levels of suspicion and fear regarding borrowers' well being, i.e. ability to adjust to higher rates. Putting it differently, since the stability of borrowers is deteriorating (as they are facing higher funding costs), lenders are thinking twice before giving money away (as easy as they did until not too long ago).
