Crude oil futures today fell by 0.63% to Rs 4,753 per barrel as speculators trimmed positions amid a weak trend in Asian trade.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in November month contracts fell by Rs 30, or 0.63%, to Rs 4,753 per barrel in 1,329 lots.
Besides, oil for December delivery moved down by Rs 29, or 0.62%, to Rs 4,784 per barrel in 150 lots.
Analysts said the fall in crude prices at futures trade was primarily after it ended losses in the Asian trade as the prospects of a production cut by the OPEC oil cartel dimmed, despite a global supply glut.
