We just added the Fed's Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement Award rate to our yield curve and time series charts, denoted as "RRP".

Banks use this facility as a means to generate return on their excess deposits.

This is the interest rate widely cited in the media whenever the Fed raises or lowers interest rates.
