Call rates edge higher at the end of first half of reporting fortnight

18 Jul 2014 Evaluate

Interbank call rates were trading higher at 8.15%/8.20% against Thursday’s close of 7.00/7.10%, as demand remained somewhat higher in the first half of reporting cycle. The rates could edge lower in the week to come as banks usually prefer to borrow their fortnightly requirements early in reporting fortnight in order to avoid the volatility of rates going further. Moreover, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has so far conducted three term repos in July and infused about Rs 76,000 crore. The expectation is that more term repo auctions will be conducted if call money rates hover near nine per cent.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 20605 crore via repo window on July 18, 2014. Meanwhile, banks also borrowed Rs 20837 crore through repo auction and parked Rs 3601 crore via reverse repo window on July 17, 2014.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 8.50% and 8.00% respectively.

According to the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL), the weighted average rate (WAR) in the call money market was at 8.28% on Friday and total volume stood at Rs 24481.29 crore, so far.

As per CCIL data, WAR in the CBLO (Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation) market was at 8.17% on Friday and total volume stood at Rs 26569.60 crore, so far.

The indicative call rates which closed 7.00/7.10% on Wednesday were contributions made from Andhra Bank, AXIS Bank, Bank of America, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank, J P Morgan Chase, Citibank N.A., Corporation Bank, Credit Agricole Bank, Indusind Bank, ICICI Bank, ICICI Securities, IDBI Bank, Jammu and Kashmir Bank, Punjab National Bank, RBS, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered, so far
