Interbank three-day call rates were at 8.75/8.80, marginally higher from its Thursday’s close of 8.75/8.80 as demand for funds was firm on the final day of the two-week reporting cycle, but a second repo auction later in the day is expected to keep a lid on rates. Typically, rates turn volatile on the last day of the two-week cycle as some banks try to deploy excess funds, while others rush to cover any unexpected cash outflows. However, Indian cash rates ended slightly lower on Thursday, towards the close of the two-week reporting period, as banks opted to borrow more from the central bank's repo counter at 8.50 percent.
