Crude oil futures fell Rs 11 or 0.16 per cent to Rs 6,739 per barrel today as speculators trimmed their positions amid a weak trend in the Asian trade.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in October fell Rs 11 or 0.16 per cent to Rs 6,739 per barrel in 98 lots. Similarly, the oil for September delivery moved down by Rs 7 or 0.1 per cent to Rs 6,738 per barrel in 1,225 lots.
