Multiple Choice Questions

1.____ Market is the most volatile market.

  • a. Money market
  • b. Call money Market
  • c. Commercial paper market
  • d. Treasury Bill Market

Answer

Answer: (b) Call money Market

The call money market is the market for overnight and very short-term interbank funds, repayable on demand. Its rate, the call rate, moves more sharply than any other rate in the money market, and it does so for three reasons:

  1. The term is one day. A lender parting with money for a single night demands whatever the day's scarcity justifies, and there is no time for the rate to average out.
  2. The loans are unsecured. No collateral is pledged, so the rate carries a credit element as well as a liquidity element.
  3. It absorbs the whole day's imbalance. Banks come to it to meet their cash reserve ratio at the close of business, so a shortage anywhere in the banking system shows up here first and in full.
munotes.in 2

On days when reserve requirements fall due, or when advance tax payments drain money out of the banking system, the call rate can move by several percentage points within hours.

Why the others are wrong:

  • (a) Money market is the whole market of which the call money market is one segment, so it cannot be the most volatile part of itself.
  • (c) Commercial paper is issued for fixed periods of up to a year by creditworthy companies, so its rate is settled at issue and does not move daily.
  • (d) Treasury bills are issued by the Government of India and carry no default risk, which makes them the least volatile instrument in the market, not the most.
