Description: This chart shows holding period days by tenor, where holding period is determined by the delivery date (first vs last delivery window) that maximizes implied repo.

Relevance for Financial Markets: Holding period length determines which point of the OIS curve is relevant for financing and therefore directly affects spread measurement.

Direction of Risk: Longer holding periods typically map to longer-tenor OIS inputs; spread sensitivity can shift as holding periods change through time.

Formulas Used: Holding period days are computed from settlement (T+1 business day) to the selected delivery date.

Data Cleaning Information: Tenor-level series come from the implied repo computation step and are plotted after date alignment.

Relation to a chart in an OFR public monitor: N/A

What does this add that other charts might not? It explains a key mechanical channel behind spread movements that is not visible in price-only charts.
