28 Aug 2012 Evaluate

Interbank call rates were trading flat at its previous close of 8.00/05%, higher above the repo level, as demand remained higher on account of start of the new reporting fortnight. However, sharp uptick of call rates is unlikely until the payments for advance tax are made in mid-September, which could weigh down on the liquidity situation of the banks.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 64,830 crore through repo window on August 27, 2012, while, the banks via second LAF borrowed Rs 17,505 crore through repo window and parked Rs 2,010 crore via reverse repo window on August 24, 2012.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 8.10% and 7.95% respectively.

According to the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL), the weighted average rate (WAR) in the call money market was 8.00% on Tuesday and total volume stood at Rs 16,926.17 crore, so far.
