Interbank call rates, the rates at which banks borrow short-term funds from each other, were trading lower at 7.85/7.90% compared to 8.50/8.55%, but higher than repo level as demand remained on the higher side at the start of a new reporting fortnight. The rates are expected to be lower in coming days of reporting fortnight since most of the banks must have already fulfilled their fortnightly product requirements.
