Interbank call money rate mostly steady at 8.65/75 percent for three-day loans compared with 8.65/70 percent for one-day loans on Thursday, as most banks had met their reserve needs on the last day of the two-week reporting cycle. However, Indian cash rates ended marginally higher on Thursday, reflecting an increase in banks’ cash requirements a day before the end of the two-week reserve reporting cycle. The demand generally eases towards the end of the cycle as banks cover their requirements in the first half of the period to avoid a rush for funds later. This time, however, tight liquidity in the banking system is keeping the rates higher.
