The cost of borrowing U.S. Treasuries in the overnight repurchase agreement, or repo market, went negative on Thursday, analysts said, caused by the recent bond market sell-off and suggesting stress in money markets.

REUTERS/Lee Jae-WonNegative repo rates typically occur when a particular collateral security becomes in demand - in this case analysts pointed to the 10-year Treasury - or there is a reduced supply in the repo market. In order to borrow these securities, buyers have to tempt potential sellers with cheap cash or a repo rate that is less than the general collateral repo rate.

The general collateral rate remained above zero on Thursday, however, at 0.05%. It did go negative last week at -0.05 basis points. Dan Belton, fixed income strategist, at BMO Capital said the U.S. 10-year note was “trading special” in repo, meaning to lend cash to borrow the security, the lender must pay the current rate of negative 3% to 4%.

On the other hand, dealers and depository institutions borrow cash against long positions in securities to finance their net inventory and balance sheet position.
