Interbank three-day call rates edged higher at 10.25/10.30% compared with Thursday's close of 10.05/10.15% on account of some last minute demand from banks to fulfill their product requirements on the last trading day of reporting fortnight. However, the rates are expected to be re-calibrated to the new emerging funding rate, after Reserve Bank of India’s new governor in his maiden Mid-Quarter Monetary Policy Review: September 2013 reduced the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate by 75 basis points from 10.25% to 9.5% with immediate effect. He also slashed the minimum daily maintenance of the cash reserve ratio (CRR) from 99% of the requirement to 95% effective from the fortnight beginning September 21, 2013, while keeping the CRR unchanged at 4.0%.
