Call rates trade higher on Tuesday as demand for funds was robust

24 Jan 2012 Evaluate

Interbank call money rates were trading at 8.95/9.00 percent, higher from Monday’s close of 8.60/8.65 percent, as demand for funds was robust in a holiday-shortened week. The cash shortfall in the banking system is due to an increase in currency in circulation with the public and also on the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) intervention in the foreign exchange market. The RBI has been said to be intervening in the foreign exchange market to curb excess volatility and has taken steps to stem the sharp slide in the currency in the last couple of weeks. Further, there is seasonal demand for cash at the start of the harvesting season and elections increasing the currency in circulation.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 1,23,250 crore through repo window on January 24, 2012. While, banks using LAF borrowed Rs 1,41,770 crore through repo window on January 23, 2012.
