Call rates edge lower on penultimate session of reporting fortnight

06 Mar 2014 Evaluate

Interbank call rates, the rates at which banks borrow short-term funds from each other, were trading lower at 8.05/8.10% as against its previous close of 8.50/8.60% on Wednesday as demand cooled off on the penultimate session of reporting cycle. However, these rates could edge higher tomorrow as some banks may scramble to fulfill their last minute fortnightly requirements. Moreover, the lack of lending at the end of the current financial year could also lead to volatility, as banks needing cash at the end of the year act early knowing funds will dry up as March progresses.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 22460 crore through repo auction and on March 06, 2014. In the previous session, banks using LAF facility borrowed Rs 2270 crore through repo auction and parked Rs 2554 crore via reverse repo window on March 05, 2014.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 8.10% and 8.00% respectively.

According to the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL), the weighted average rate (WAR) in the call money market was 8.01% on Thursday and total volume stood at Rs 34442.00 crore, so far.

As per CCIL data, WAR in the CBLO (Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation) market was 7.93% on Thursday and total volume stood at Rs 44437.60 crore, so far.
