Inter-bank liquidity could tighten again: Morgan Stanley

Chetan Ahya, Morgan Stanley said, "The aim of conducting open market operations (OMOs) and cash reserve ratio (CRR) cut is to prevent unintended tightening in domestic liquidity conditions and a further rise in short-term rates. While liquidity conditions should see a seasonal improvement in April, we believe unless capital inflow improves significantly, inter-bank liquidity could tighten again from May-June warranting more CRR cuts."
