Crude oil futures prices fell further today by 0.33% to Rs 7,195 per barrel, as speculators engaged in reducing positions, taking weak cues from Asian trade as fears receded of an immediate US intervention in Syria.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in October shed Rs 24, or 0.33%, to Rs 7,195 per barrel in 68 lots.
In a likewise manner, oil for delivery in September traded Rs 22, or 0.31% lower at Rs 7,174 per barrel in 739 lots.
Analysts said persistent fall in crude oil prices at futures trade was attributed to a weak trend in the Asian trade on receding fears of an immediate US intervention in Syria but upbeat global economic data capped losses.
