Interbank call rates were trading higher at 7.95/8.00% versus Tuesday’s close of 7.25/7.35%, as demand remained higher in the first week of reporting fortnight. The rates are expected to remain around these levels for the week, as banks usually prefer to borrow their fortnightly requirements in the first half of reporting cycle, in order to avoid volatility of rates going further.
