 "Crude oil rises by 0.6% on overseas cues")
Crude oil futures rose by Rs 23 to Rs 3,618 per barrel today as speculators created fresh positions, tracking overnight gains in the global market.
Analysts said the rise in crude oil futures was largely in tandem with a firming trend in the global market on forecasts that the US shale production would likely drop and help ease a global supply glut.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in May gained Rs 23 or 0.64% to Rs 3,618 per barrel, with a business turnover of 256 lots.
