Call rates edge higher on rise in demand

29 May 2014 Evaluate

Interbank call rates were trading higher at 8.00/8.05% versus Wednesday’s close of 7.00/7.10%, as demand remained on higher side despite being second week of reporting cycle. However, further uptick of overnight rates beyond these levels is unlikely, as most banks would have already fulfilled their fortnightly requirements. Nevertheless, last minute demand from banks cannot be completely ruled out.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 10439 crore through repo auction and parked Rs 3674 crore via reverse repo window on May 28, 2014.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 8.05% and 7.85% respectively.

According to the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL), the weighted average rate (WAR) in the call money market was at 7.99% on Thursday and total volume stood at Rs 28877.98 crore, so far.

As per CCIL data, WAR in the CBLO (Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation) market was at 7.95% on Thursday and total volume stood at Rs 26050.60 crore, so far.
