Interbank call money rates were trading lower at 8.30/8.35% from its previous close of 8.45/8.50% as supply was enough to meet demand on the last day of the reporting fortnight. Demand is typically approaching the fag end of the reporting fortnight since most banks prefer to meet reserve needs as much as possible in the first week to reduce exposure to likely volatility in the latter half. In the current fortnight, banks have also rushed up borrowing in the first week in anticipation of an increase in the central bank's key lending rate affecting demand this week.
