Interbank call rates were trading little changed at 7.95/8.00% as against Friday's close of 7.90/8.00% as demand remained stable in the second half of reporting cycle. However, further uptrend of rates is unlikely as demand usually ebbs approaching the end of reporting cycle, since most of the banks would have already fulfilled their mandated fortnight requirements.
