In futures trading at the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery this month shot up by Rs 22, or 0.75 per cent, to Rs 2,940 per barrel, with a business turnover of 47,921 lots.
The oil for delivery in September also climbed by Rs 21, or 0.71 per cent, to Rs 2,985 per barrel in a turnover of 2,116 lots.
Analysts said the rise in crude oil futures was largely in tandem with a rebound in Asian trade today after falling steeply in the previous session owing to weak Chinese and US manufacturing and continued worries about the global supply glut.
