Crude oil futures fell 2.28 per cent to Rs 3,689 per barrel Monday in tandem with weak overseas trends.
Crude oil contracts for June delivery traded lower by Rs 86, or 2.28 per cent, at Rs 3,689 per barrel with a business volume of 21,363 lots on the Multi Commodity Exchange.
Analysts said the fall in crude oil futures is mostly in tune with a weak trend in global markets where the sentiments are dented over fears of an economic slowdown due to the ongoing Sino-US trade tiff.
