Crude oil futures edged lower 0.60% to Rs 3,835 per barrel today in line with a weak trend in Asian trade.
In futures trading, crude oil for delivery in June shed Rs 23, or 0.60%, to Rs 3,835 per barrel, with a business volume of 1,337 lots at Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX).
Oil prices for July delivery moved down Rs 22, or 0.56%, to trade at Rs 3,888 per barrel, with a business volume of 151 lots.
