Call rates oscillate near emergency funding rate

Interbank call rates edged higher at 10.25/30% compared to previous close of 10.20/30% on Wednesday, as demand more or less stabilized in the first week of reporting cycle. However, tight liquidity condition is maintaining pressure on call rates, with banks borrowing Rs 69585 crore from the Reserve Bank of India's marginal standing facility (MSF) window on August 28, higher than the Rs 56435 crore on August 27. It needs to be noted that the RBI had raised the MSF rate by 200 basis points to 10.25% and also imposed restrictions on daily borrowings by banks under its repo window last month.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 39984 crore through repo window on August 29, 2013, while banks via Special Liquidity Adjustment Facility borrowed Rs 39074 crore through repo window and parked Rs 18 crore via reverse repo window on August 28, 2013.
