ICI published its latest weekly "Money Market Fund Assets" report, Thursday. The weekly series shows money fund assets rising $31.7 billion to $6.913 trillion, after falling $125.4 billion the week prior and falling $25.4 billion two weeks ago. Massive (presumably) tax-related outflows make last week the largest weekly outflow in history. But money fund assets have still risen in 25 of the last 38, and 36 of the last 53 weeks, increasing by $609.0 billion (or 9.7%) since the Fed cut on 9/18/24 and increasing by $935.1 billion (or 15.6%) since 4/24/24. MMF assets are up by $935 billion, or 15.6%, in the past 52 weeks (through 4/23/25), with Institutional MMFs up $482 billion, or 13.5% and Retail MMFs up $453 billion, or 18.9%. Year-to-date, MMF assets are up by $62 billion, or 0.9%, with Institutional MMFs down $57 billion, or -1.4% and Retail MMFs up $119 billion, or 4.3%.

The Office of Financial Research (OFR) recently published "How the Treasury Clearing Rule for Repo Might Affect SOFR." It states, "The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rule requiring the central clearing of certain U.S. Treasury-secured repurchase agreements (repos) is scheduled to go into effect on June 30, 2027. While there are exceptions, this rule will cover up to 85% of non-centrally cleared repos. As these repos move to clearing, a portion of their associated rates will be used to calculate the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which serves as a benchmark for borrowing cash overnight in the United States."

One way to assess the potential impact is to estimate a hypothetical SOFR that includes representative non-centrally cleared bilateral repos (NCCBR). In this blog, the authors describe their estimation methodology and results. They use a 2022 pilot collection of NCCBR data from the Office of Financial Research (OFR) and apply the SEC rule that governs which NCCBR will need to be cleared. The authors also use tri-party repo data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and GCF and DVP repo data from the OFR, as well as the FRBNY's methodology for calculating SOFR." It adds, "The OFR's pilot collected NCCBR data from nine sell-side participants on three days during June 2022, totaling about $900 billion in outstanding repos per day. The estimation shows …
