04 Jan 2012 Evaluate

Interbank call money rates were trading at 8.85/8.90 percent, higher from Tuesday’s close of 8.50/8.60 percent, as demand from banks picked up in the first half of the day's session as they rush to meet their reserve requirements in the new reporting fortnight. The demand is typically strong in the first week of the two-week reporting cycle as most banks prefer to meet reserve needs as soon as possible in order to cut exposure to possibly volatile funding rates in the later half due to last-minute flows. But, the Indian overnight indexed cash rate eased to around the Reserve Bank of India’s repo rate on Tuesday as demand eased towards end of the day.
