English translation:significant negative differential
Explanation:
I'm not familiar with this phrase, so my confidence level is medium. There are a couple of online references to "relevant negative differential," but they are both taken another field and may not be relevant. There are many more references to "significant negative differential" on Google search.

agree  María Eugenia Wachtendorff: Hola, Marga. Perdón, no vi que ya habías sugerido "spread". Los askers no están usando el glosario Kudoz. ¿Para quiénes lo estaremos construyendo, digo yo? :))
