TREE NEWS reports: The secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) came in at 3.88% on Oct. 14, the day US CPI inflation data was released, down slightly from 3.89% the previous day. The effective federal funds rate also stood at 3.88%, unchanged from the prior session.
SOFR Holds at 3.88% on US CPI Release Day
The near-identical SOFR and effective fed funds prints on a CPI release day suggest funding markets absorbed the inflation data without visible strain, with the marginal softening in SOFR offering little signal on its own. For RWA and tokenized-treasury products that reference overnight rates, the practical takeaway is continuity rather than a shift in the rate backdrop. Whether the spread between the two benchmarks stays this compressed in the sessions ahead is the open question worth tracking.
