Description

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a key benchmark interest rate used in the U.S. financial markets, reflecting the average overnight repurchase agreement rate secured by U.S. Treasury securities. Predicting SOFR for a specific future date involves analyzing economic indicators, monetary policy decisions, and market expectations. These markets allow participants to bet on whether the rate will fall within certain precise thresholds, offering a granular view of future interest rate expectations.

Kalshi

The event resolves based on the initially reported Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for October 19, 2026, as published in the “Secured Overnight Financing Rate Data” table under the column labeled “Rate (%)”. All markets share this same underlying data source and rule that later revisions to the reported SOFR will not affect the outcome. Each market has a specific resolution condition: one market resolves if the rate is at most 3.85%, six markets resolve if the rate matches exactly 3.86%, 3.87%, 3.88%, 3.89%, 3.90%, or 3.91%, and the final market resolves if the rate is at least 3.91%. The exact value of the SOFR on that date determines which market settles as the winner, with only one market resolving to “Yes” based on the precise figure reported.
