Interbank call money rates were trading steady at its previous close of 8.05% owing to the waning demand in the second week of the reporting fortnight amidst improved liquidity conditions. Demand is typically less in the second part of the reporting fortnight as banks cover their position in the first week to avoid a last minute scramble for funds. The cash rates were also largely stable because banks borrowed more from the repo window. The central bank had said on Monday banks currently having adequate government bond stocks to borrow against in its liquidity injection facility as well as having access to the emergency lending facility.
