Interbank call rates edged lower at 7.95/8.00% from its previous close of 8.00/8.05%, as demand somewhat steadied approaching the end of the first week of the reporting cycle. However, hopes that RBI would resume bond purchases in late September on account of tightened liquidity because of tax outflows, capped the surge of the overnight call rates. Further, banks borrowing of sub Rs 40,000 crore from the central bank's repo window on Wednesday, was the lowest in three sessions.
