fluctuation in credit spreads
Explanation:
I suspect this also refers to credit derivatives; when using these instruments you usually decompose the total return on an asset into a "risk-free" interest rate (Libor or a similar reference rate for the short-term range, or the zero-coupon government yield curve for the medium to long end) and a credit spread which reflects the borrower's (issuer's) relative risk compared to an investment that is considered risk-free.
