10 Apr 2013 Evaluate

Interbank call rates edged higher at 7.60/7.65% from its previous close of 7.55/65% on Tuesday, as demand steadied in the first week of a new reporting fortnight. Improved liquidity situation mainly capped the upside of call rates. The liquidity situation has improved underscored by the fact that banks’ borrowing at the central bank’s liquidity adjustment facility window has come down from its psychological 100,000 crore mark, with banks even parking funds via reverse repo window on the previous day. The tight liquidity trend is likely to ease further as outflows on account of advance tax payment by companies last month is expected to come back into the banking system.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 93430 crore through repo window on April 10, while banks borrowed Rs 103590 crore via repo window and parked Rs 625 crore via reverse repo window on April 09, 2013.
