It seems like we were in the same situation last year. In December 23, January 24, the SOFR was reach almost to 5.4% with $200 billion of window dressing, but strangely enough, there's still a excess money in the RRP, isn't there?

Hi Conks, thanks for giving us this update. What does it mean when SOFR < EFFR and SOFR > EFFR, is it SOFR decided by market dynamics, or the FED has any control over it?

SOFR < EFFR means market markets are functioning correctly. secured rates should trade below unsecured rates reflecting the risk. SOFR > EFFR generally means limited cash available in the repo market.
