Crude oil futures declined by 0.34% to Rs 4,122 per barrel today in line with a weak trend in Asian trade.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in current month shed Rs 14, or 0.34%, to Rs 4,122 per barrel, with a business volume of 1,189 lots.
Oil prices for January 2015 contracts moved down by Rs 13, or 0.31%, to Rs 4,156 per barrel, with a business volume of 79 lots.
Marketmen said the fall in crude oil futures was mostly in tandem with a weakening trend in Asian trade.
