Interbank call rates edged lower at 8.00/05% from its previous close of 8.00/10% on Thursday, as most banks have already arranged funds for their fortnightly reserve needs. However, last minute demand from banks towards the end of the reporting fortnight could push rates higher, though big spurt given the eased liquidity conditions is not expected. Further, cash deficit is expected to remain well within the RBI's comfort zone until payment for advance tax are made in mid-September, which is likely to weigh on liquidity conditions of most of the banks.
