Crude oil futures today fell 0.09 per cent to Rs 4,685 per barrel as speculators trimmed positions amid a weak trend in Asian trade.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in December fell Rs four or 0.09 per cent to Rs 4,685 per barrel in 212 lots.
Besides, the oil for November delivery moved down by Rs 2 or 0.04 per cent to Rs 4,660 per barrel in 1,021 lots.
Analysts said the fall in crude oil prices at the futures trade was primarily after it fell in the Asian trade but the losses were limited by speculation that the OPEC cartel would be forced to cut output to prevent further big losses.
Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude for December delivery shed 25 cents to $75.57, while Brent crude for January delivery was down 31 cents at $79.10 a barrel in mid-morning trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
