TREE NEWS reports: The Federal Reserve’s overnight reverse repo facility took in $227 million on Tuesday, October 20, from three counterparties, down from $330 million the previous trading day. The RRP is a key tool the Fed uses to help set a floor under short-term interest rates.
Fed’s overnight reverse repo facility usage falls to $227M
The near-empty RRP is a liquidity signal more than a rate signal: with only three counterparties and a few hundred million parked overnight, the facility has effectively stopped acting as a binding floor for money-market rates. That matters for anyone tracking the Fed's balance-sheet runoff and for short-term funding markets, where the RRP's buffer role has shrunk. Whether usage stays this negligible — and whether other money-market rates still hold above the Fed's target range without it — is the open question.
