The effective Fed Fund Rate jumped today, but what does it mean?

Highest All YearI do not know the cause but the Effective Rate jump seems unusual.

My Conversation With the 30-Year Long Bond

In My Conversation With the 30-Year Long Bond I noted a “solid wall of inversions” from the three-year note through the Fed Funds Rate.

The Fed Funds rate would not be inverted with the 3-month and 6-month T-Bills without the Fed Funds Rate jump today.

Recall that it was a Fed Ends Rate jump that kicked off the Repo Crisis.
