Call rates cool off from three and half year high level

03 Apr 2012 Evaluate

Interbank call rates cooled off from three and half year high level of 15.00/15.10% seen for four day loan in the previous session on Friday at 9.45/9.50% on Tuesday as demand eased in the second week of the two-week reporting cycle. On Saturday, it closed at 8.50/8.60% in an illiquid market.

Banks usually cover up their mandated needs in the first week of reporting cycle in order to avoid the volatility of rates approaching the second week. However, with two working days in the holiday shortened week, banks have already scurried to cover their position. Meanwhile, the liquidity which might have come in the form of month end government spending might have also lightened the sentiment.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 138,085 crore through repo window on April 3, 2012. The banks via LAF borrowed Rs 1,955 crore through 3 days repo window and parked Rs 35,585 crore via 3 days reverse repo window on March 31, 2012.

The overnight borrowing rates has touched a high of 8.95% and a low of 4.00%, so far.

According to the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL), the weighted average rate (WAR) in the call money market was 8.60% on Tuesday and total volume stood at Rs 5,362.13 crore, so far.

As per CCIL data, WAR in the CBLO (Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation) market was 8.74% on Tuesday and total volume stood at Rs 16,286.00 crore, so far.
