12 Mar 2012 Evaluate

Interbank call rates edged higher at 8.75/8.80% from Friday's close of 8.50/55% for three-day loans, on account of strong demand, which is usual at beginning of a two-week reporting cycle. However, the surprise CRR cut prevented a sharp spurt in the overnight rate. Since RBI’s decision to cut CRR by 75 bps effective March 10, has released around Rs 50,000 crore of cash into the cash strapped system, ahead of midterm review of monetary policy, scheduled for release on March 15, 2012.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) LAF borrowed Rs 79,965 crore through repo window, and parked and borrowed Rs 1,025 crore and Rs 52,785 crore via second reverse repo and repo window on March 9, 2012 respectively.

The overnight borrowing rates has touched a high of 8.60% and a low of 6.90%, so far.

According to the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL), the weighted average rate (WAR) in the call money market was 8.51% on Monday and total volume stood at Rs 11,140.46, so far.

As per CCIL data, WAR in the CBLO (Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation) market was 8.50% on Monday and total volume stood at Rs 27,737.05 crore, so far.

The indicative call rates which closed at 8.50/55% on Friday were contributions made from Andhra Bank, AXIS Bank, Bank of America, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank, J P Morgan Chase, Citibank N.A., Corporation Bank, Credit Agricole Bank, Indusind Bank, ICICI Bank, ICICI Securities, IDBI Bank, Jammu and Kashmir Bank, Punjab National Bank, RBS, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered Bank, State Bank of India, Union Bank of India, ING Vysya Bank, BNP Paribas, HDFC Bank, P&S Bank.
