TREE NEWS reports: The secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) stood at 3.87% on October 12, unchanged from the prior day. The effective federal funds rate also held steady at 3.88% for the same trading day.
SOFR Holds at 3.87% for Second Straight Day
Two consecutive days of unchanged SOFR, with the effective fed funds rate sitting just a basis point above it, points to an overnight funding market that is simply marking time rather than repricing. For anyone tracking the cost of collateral in repo and short-term rate products tied to these benchmarks, the absence of movement is itself the signal: no quarter-end or balance-sheet pressure is showing up in the prints. Whether that calm persists into the next reporting dates is the open question.
