The Inter-bank call money rates opened at 7.70%, higher compared to its previous close of 7.50/55% on Thursday, as demand was firm and overall cash conditions in the system continued to remain tight. However, Indian cash rates finished weak at 7.50 per cent on Thursday from 7.75 per cent previously on the back of excess liquidity in the system. Though, the demand for funds is typically higher in the first half of the reporting fortnight as banks borrow more than their mandated requirement to avoid a last minute scramble for funds. Liquidity in the banking system has been tight after companies paid advance tax last week.
