Overnight rate
The interest rate applied to interbank borrowing for a short-term period, typically overnight.
Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement Facility (ON RRP)
The ON RRP is a Federal Reserve facility that puts a floor under short-term interest rates. Through it, eligible institutions, chiefly money-market funds along with banks and government-sponsored enterprises, can lend cash to the Fed overnight and earn a set rate, taking Treasury collateral in return. Because they always have this safe option, they will not lend to anyone else for less, so the ON RRP rate effectively caps how low overnight market rates can fall.
It is a supplementary tool the Fed uses to keep its policy rate inside the target range.
Example: When the financial system is awash with cash and money-market funds have nowhere good to park it, they pour hundreds of billions into the ON RRP each night, collecting the Fed’s set rate rather than accepting something lower in the open market. That steady demand stops overnight rates from sinking below the Fed’s floor, which is exactly why the central bank built the facility in the first place.
Oversold
A condition in which a product has been sold to the point where its price is considered too low and may be due for a rebound.
