02 Nov 2011 Evaluate

Interbank call money rates edged lower for the second consecutive session as the cash rates opened at 7.50% from its previous close of 8.50/55%. Cash rates have edged lower owing to dwindling demand for funds amidst comfortable supply conditions. Most of the banks have covered more-than-needed reserve needs for the reporting fortnight in the first week itself, while the banks which borrowed are also able to garner funds to meet mandated reserve needs without any strain. Month-end government spending, which boosted cash supply, has mainly curbed the rise in cash rates.
