SUMMARY

Monitor trends and track stress indicators with the TraditionData SOFR Indicative Rate Service.

The SOFR Indicative Rate Service combines market leading general collateral repo trade and volume data sourced from our number one inter-dealer brokerage desk with anonymized tri-party repo trade and volume data from BNY Mellon.

By taking incoming data from both Tradition and BNY Mellon, and using a proprietary methodology, we produce a volume-weighted median repo rate throughout the day which informs our clients of where SOFR will fix the following day.

The industry in the US is at a critical juncture in the move from LIBOR to SOFR, the leading alternative benchmark, with a deadline of 30^th June 2023. The ability to offer indicative rate data to financial market participants will help facilitate a more seamless transition, as well as improve marketplace efficiency and transparency.

Market relevance -This rate form the benchmark interest rate for dollar-denominated derivatives and loans around the world.

BNYM’s Marketplace. The rate is available throughout the day on an hourly snap basis and as an end-of-day rate at 4:30pm.

Value experienced – Our SOFR Indicative Rate Service helps inform your decision making whether you participate directly in the overnight repo market or you leverage financial instruments where SOFR is used in determining the amount of interest paid.

This new development from our data product team will provide a valuable insight during the trading day as to where SOFR is likely to fix tomorrow.
