German term or phrase: Prime Standard im Nebel
Term stands alone as title of an article. I gather there's some uncertainty or lack of clarity about the prime rate, but I'm not clear whether it relates to 1) what it is, 2) where it's going, 3) what its function should be.

Considering: "Prime Standard Shrouded in Uncertainty"
or "Prime Standard Hazy"

Thanks for input.
