The Market Probability Tracker estimates probability distributions implied by the prices of options from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that reference the three-month compounded average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). SOFR, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, broadly measures the cost of overnight (one-day) loans collateralized with Treasury securities in the repurchase agreement, or repo, market. Because the New York Fed's Open Market Trading Desk implements monetary policy through repo market transactions, we can use the estimated distributions to make inferences about the market's assessment of future target ranges that the Federal Open Market Committee sets.

Updates are made daily using the most recently available data, typically from the previous day. In this tracker, we show results from the four nearest-expiring quarterly contracts. To observe changes in the market's assessment, users can view and compare estimates across the prior six weeks for the market's expected three-month average SOFR path and its 25th- to 75th-percentile region; the probabilities associated with future target ranges over the quarterly intervals specified by individual contracts; and the full distribution estimated by our model.
