Call rates edge lower on subdued demand

04 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Interbank call money rates are currently trading at 8.00/8.10%, lower from Monday's close of 8.20/25%, on subdued demand in the second week of the reporting fortnight. The rates are lower in the second week of the reporting cycle as banks have covered excess product last week so there is not much cash requirement. However, a big fall in cash rates is unlikely as liquidity in the banking system is in deficit and the corporate advance tax outflows earlier this month are expected to trickle back in only gradually.
