Interbank three day call rates were trading above the RBI’s emergency funding rate level at 10.30/40%, higher from the previous close of 10.20/10.25% on Thursday, as demand remained strong at the end of the first week of reporting cycle, given that most of the banks prefer to cover their product needs in the first half of reporting fortnight.
