US TSYS/OVERNIGHT REPO: SOFR Dips Below EFFR, Post-FOMC Adjustments Pending

US TSYS/OVERNIGHT REPO

Secured rates fell back significantly Wednesday, with SOFR down 5bp to 4.57%. That move comes alongside GSE inflows reverberating through funding markets, and marks the first time this month that SOFR has printed below effective Fed funds (4.58%).

  • Rates will adjust lower in Thursday's prints after the Fed's 25bp funds rate cut and 30bp ON RRP cuts are implemented -  SOFR should fall by 26-30bp, with limited impact seen from the ON RRP tweak to EFFR.

REPO REFERENCE RATES (rate, change from prev. day, volume):
* Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR): 4.57%, -0.05%, $2291B
* Broad General Collateral Rate (BGCR): 4.56%, -0.03%, $847B
* Tri-Party General Collateral Rate (TGCR): 4.56%, -0.03%, $820B
