Interbank call rates, the rates at which banks borrow short-term funds from each other, were trading higher at 7.70/7.75% compared to 6.65/6.70%, also higher than the repo level as demand even in the second week of reporting cycle. However, rates are expected to ebb in the coming days since banks usually prefer to borrow for their mandated fortnightly requirements early in order to avoid volatility of rates going later towards the end of reporting cycle.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 7.80% and 7.30% respectively.
