Interbank call money rates were trading at 8.30/35%, substantially lower from Friday’s close of 8.65/8.75%, but higher than 8.25/8.30% on Saturday, as banks preferred borrowing for their mandated needs for a new reporting fortnight amid fears of an increase in policy rates on Tuesday adding to the demand. The RBI is widely expected to deliver one final interest rate increase at its policy review on Tuesday and then pause until the end of the fiscal year in March. However, a repeat of last Friday's sharp rise, when cash rates touched a three-month high is not expected, as large borrowing from the Reserve Bank of India's repo counter would aid in preventing any spike.
The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 98,285 crore through repo window on October 24, 2011. Meanwhile, banks via LAF only borrowed Rs 80,540 crore through repo window and parked Rs 700 crore via reverse repo window on October 21, 2011.
