Interbank call money rates opened at 8.30%, higher from its previous close of 7.50/60% on Friday on the back of strong demand at the start of a reporting fortnight, but no excessive pressure is anticipated on rates given big borrowings from the central bank’s repo counter. On Saturday, it closed at 8.20/8.30% for two-day loans in an illiquid market. The demand is usually higher in the first week of the reporting fortnight as most banks prefer to cover their mandated reserve needs as early as possible to avoid exposure to possible volatility in rates during the second week.
