Crude oil futures fell by 1.81%, to Rs 4,133 per barrel today as speculators reduced their positions amid a weakening trend overseas.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, the October contract fell by Rs 76, or 1.81%, to Rs 4,133 per barrel, with a trading volume of 12,144 lots.
The November contract lost Rs 73, or 1.72%, to Rs 4,165 per barrel, with a turnover of 801 lots.
