SOFR Rate Decline

Definition

A SOFR rate decline indicates a decrease in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, signifying a reduction in the cost of overnight borrowing collateralized by Treasury securities. This decline often signals a loosening of monetary policy or increased liquidity within the financial system. A lower SOFR rate can reduce borrowing costs for institutions and potentially stimulate economic activity. It may also influence investor preference for riskier assets.
