Call rates edge lower than MSF rate in the first week of reporting cycle

03 Dec 2013 Evaluate

Interbank call rates were trading lower than Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate at 7.00/7.05%, but higher from its previous close of 6.75/6.85% as banks continued to borrow in order to fulfill their fortnightly requirements in the first half of reporting cycle itself. Mainly, improved liquidity condition which could be gauged from the amount that the banks were lending through reverse repo window, is mainly providing lid to the further uptick of call rates.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 2927 crore through repo window on December 03, 2013, while banks using special LAF borrowed Rs 25124 crore through repo window and parked Rs 8658 crore via reverse repo window on December 02, 2013.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 7.75% and 6.75% respectively.
