Why did 'Term SOFR' rates become available only after a robust SOFR futures market was established?
- Because forward-looking term rates are derived from the prices of SOFR derivatives like futures and swaps.
- Because term rates are higher than overnight rates and required a 'liquidity buffer' provided by futures traders.
- Because SOFR was originally a 'dark-pool' rate that was only made public after a Congressional inquiry.
- Because the Federal Reserve needed to see high trading volumes to ensure the rate was 'SEC-compliant'.
