Call rates trade steady amidst comfortable liquidity condition

11 Oct 2012 Evaluate

Interbank call rates were trading steadily above repo level at its previous close of 8.05/10% as demand was largely stable since banks continued to borrow more to set aside mandatory reserves at the start of a two-week reporting period, in order to avoid volatility of call rates approaching the second week of reporting cycle. However, the comfortable cash condition prevented further uptick in cash rates.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 69,265 crore through repo window on October 11, 2012, while, the banks borrowed Rs 63,325 crore through repo window on October 10, 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 Thursday and total volume stood at Rs 17,799.50 crore, so far.

As per CCIL data, WAR in the CBLO (Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation) market was 8.00% on Thursday and total volume stood at Rs 22,633.25 crore, so far.
