Call rates slid on Friday

08 Jul 2011 Evaluate

The inter-bank call money rates opened at 7.40% little changed from its previous close of 7.40/50% on Thursday as demand eased after cash from redemption and government spending by way of oil and food subsidies came into the system. Also, some banks had built-up massive positions for the 4-day LAF over the quarter end, so the borrowing lowered now, thereby reducing the call rates. However, the sharp fall of the call rates were unlikely in the first week of the reporting fortnight, due to typical higher demand for the funds from the bank, which avoid last minute rush for fulfilling their mandated requirements.
