Call rates surge as the demand accelerates at the start of reporting fortnight

05 Jul 2011 Evaluate

The Inter-bank call money rates opened at 7.50/55%, substantially higher from Monday’s close of 7.25/35% as the demand was typically higher at the start of the new reporting fortnight since banks borrow more than their mandated requirements to avoid a last minute scramble for funds. However, the call rates are unlikely to see any sharp up move after this as the liquidity in the system is comfortable since most of the banks are on lending side.
