US TSYS/OVERNIGHT REPO: SOFR Softens As Month-End Effects Continue To Reverse

US TSYS/OVERNIGHT REPO

Monday saw a swift reversal lower in repo rates, per NY Fed data out today: SOFR fell 4bp to 4.82%, and vs 4.90% posted on Oct 31. This is largely due to month-end effects which are now unwinding.

Meanwhile, effective Fed funds remain steady as usual - though are set to drop effective Friday after the expected Fed 25bp rate cut on Thursday (to a range of 4.50-4.75%).
