Interbank call rates edged lower at 9.35/40% as against its previous close of 9.45/55% on Wednesday as demand was muted on last session of reporting fortnight since most banks had already covered for their mandated requirements. However, the rates are expected to ebb some more after Reserve Bank of India will infuse as much as Rs 10,000 crore on October 7 by purchasing government securities to ease liquidity in the market. Nevertheless, renewed demand in fresh reporting fortnight would curb a sharp run-down of rates.
