04 Sep 2014 Evaluate

Interbank call rates remained little changed at 7.45%/7.50%, from its Wednesday’s close of 7.50%/7.60%, in absence of demand for funds from banks due to lower credit needs as banks already had covered for their mandated fortnightly requirements approaching the second week of reporting fortnight. Further, perceived comfortable liquidity situation which can be gauged from RBI’s decision of conducting one-day variable rate reverse repo auction for Rs 50,000 crore later in the day, also was keeping overnight rates below repo levels.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 534 crore through repo auction on September 04, 2014, while the banks via LAF borrowed Rs 534 crore through repo auction and parked Rs 5691 crore via reverse repo window on September 03, 2014.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 7.50% and 7.30% respectively.
