FAQs
What is the composition of the DTCC GCF Repo Index?
The DTCC GCF Repo Index is composed of the following two most traded GCF Repo-eligible CUSIPs: (1) U. S. Treasury < 30-year maturity (371487AE9); and (2) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Fixed Rate MBS (371487AL3). The securities in the computation of the index include only overnight transactions that are completed on a daily basis for each of the two CUSIPs.
Securities not in the computation of the index include term trades (transactions where settlement date equals trade date plus two business days or greater) and forward start repos.
The volume is reflective of the repo and reverse transactions that are dealer executed and does not include the inter-dealer broker portion of the transactions.
For each of the CUSIPs a weighted average rate is calculated on a daily basis using the following formula:
Par weighted rate = SUM (for each overnight trade: Dollar amount*GC rate/SUM (for each overnight trade: Dollar amount) .
Do the charts show the rates for more than just the previous day?

Do the charts show the value of the repo transactions?
