21 Sep 2011 Evaluate

Interbank call money rates are trading at 8.25/8.30%, steady at Tuesday's close, as supply strain due to advance tax outflows was being managed by banks through borrowings from the central bank's repo counter. A further rise of the call rates is, however, arrested as the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) move of rate hike has been discounted well into the markets and also as banks has already borrowed early on lower rates to meet reserve needs. Earlier on Friday, the RBI raised interest rates for the 12th time in 18 months and surprised markets by sticking with its anti-inflationary stance even as growth slows in Asia's third-largest economy and policymakers elsewhere focus on reviving flagging demand.
