Interbank call rates were trading way lower than Marginal Standing Facility Rate (MSF) of 8.75%, at 7.15/7.20%, little changed from its previous close of 7.10/7.20% on Wednesday, as banks were having enough liquidity to fulfill their fortnightly requirements. The comfortable liquidity condition of banks may also be reflected by the amount borrowed by banks using RBI’s repo window.
