Though the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and the federal funds rate are concerned with the same action, i.e. interbank loans, they are distinct from one another, as follows: The target federal funds rate is a target interest rate that is set by the FOMC for implementing U.S. monetary policies.
U.S. prime rate. The U.S. prime rate is in principle the interest rate at which a supermajority (3/4ths) of large banks loan money to their most creditworthy corporate clients. [1] As such, it serves as the de facto floor for private-sector lending, and is the baseline from which common "consumer" interest rates are set (e.g. credit card rates).
In addition, unlike the forward-looking LIBOR (which can be calculated for 3, 6 or 12 months into the future), SOFR is calculated based on past transactions, which limits the rate's predictive value on future interest rates. [1] In addition, SOFR is overnight, whereas LIBOR can have longer tenors.

Until 1998, the shortest duration rate was one month, after which the rate for one week was added. In 2001, rates for a day and two weeks were introduced [40] [42] Following reforms of 2013 Libor rates are calculated for 7 maturities. [11] [20] [38] [41] Active until June 2023. 1 day; 1 month; 3 months; 6 months; 12 months; Inactive from ...
3-month LIBOR is generally a floating rate of financing, which fluctuates depending on how risky a lending bank feels about a borrowing bank. The OIS is a swap derived from the overnight rate, which is generally fixed by the local central bank. The OIS allows LIBOR-based banks to borrow at a fixed rate of interest over the same period.
Swap rate. For interest rate swaps, the Swap rate is the fixed rate that the swap "receiver" demands in exchange for the uncertainty of having to pay a short-term (floating) rate, e.g. 3 months LIBOR over time. (At any given time, the market's forecast of what LIBOR will be in the future is reflected in the forward LIBOR curve.) Analogous to ...
The LIBOR market model, also known as the BGM Model ( Brace Gatarek Musiela Model, in reference to the names of some of the inventors) is a financial model of interest rates. [1] It is used for pricing interest rate derivatives, especially exotic derivatives like Bermudan swaptions, ratchet caps and floors, target redemption notes, autocaps ...
