Interbank call money rates were trading sharply up at 9.80/9.90 percent from Friday’s close of 9.50/9.55 percent, as demand for funds remained high amidst tight liquidity. On Saturday, it had closed at 9.70/9.80 in an illiquid market. However, the Indian overnight cash rates closed lower on Friday despite the tight cash supply situation as demand likely waned after most banks met reserve needs through the Reserve Bank of India’s repo facility at lower rates. Banks have been facing a cash crunch after last week's outflows toward advance tax payments by companies and traders expect the situation to improve when the government spending picks up early next month.
