Marketmen said the fall in crude oil futures was mostly in tandem with a weakening trend in Asian trade.

This was after major producer Saudi Arabia slashed the price of the crude that it sells to Asia and the United States.

Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude oil for delivery in January was down by 31 cents to $66.50 a barrel, while Brent for January dropped 38 cents to $69.26 a barrel in late-morning trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
