29 Apr 2013 Evaluate

Interbank call rates were trading unchanged from its Friday’s close of close of 7.50/7.60%. However, cash rates are expected to ease going further in the week as Indian Government’s hefty cash holdings, presently parked at the central bank may soon be deposited at commercial banks, a move that would infuse liquidity to the banking system and make monetary policy more effective by making it easier for banks to slash lending rates. Meanwhile, call rates ended at 7.00/7.10% in thin trading on Saturday. 

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 71215 crore through repo window on April 29, while they borrowed Rs 110550 crore via repo window and parked Rs 45 crore via reverse repo window on April 26, 2013.
