TLDRS:

Today’s FOMC decision to raise Fed Funds Rate by 25 basis points will not result in a change in TMPG Fail Charge. Settlement Obligation fails (FTDs in Treasury & Government bonds) will continue to be charged at the TMPG fail charge floor rate. The Fed ENABLES lower FTD costs for the DTCC.

There is a 1% floor on the fine for FTDs in Treasury and Government bonds set by the TMPG that DTCC follows. Does not apply to stocks, though, where fees & margin calls follow a different process.

They (the Fed) help make it easier to pay less on FTDs in treasuries while paying more in overnight RRP, boo!
