If these trading venues do not provide sufficient eligible input data to calculate the applicable ICE TRR setting in accordance with Level 1 of the Methodology, then the second level of the Waterfall (“Level 2”) uses eligible dealer-to-client prices and volumes for eligible interest rate swaps displayed electronically by trading venues to derive the applicable ICE TRR setting. The first level of the Waterfall (“Level 1”) uses eligible, executable prices and volumes for eligible interest rate swaps linked to the relevant risk-free-rate, provided by regulated, electronic, trading venues to derive the applicable ICE TRR setting. The same calculation methodology applies to both ICE TSRR and the ICE Term SOFR rates. These data are provided by trading venues in accordance with a Waterfall Methodology. ![]() Please note that LIBOR is in the process of being wound-down and users of LIBOR should review IBA’s LIBOR webpage for further information.Įach published ICE Term Reference Rate (each an “ICE TRR”) is calculated using eligible data for specified interest rate derivative products linked to the relevant risk-free-rate (SONIA for ICE TSRR and SOFR for ICE Term SOFR).
