New Delhi: Crude oil futures prices fell by 0.11 percent to
4,746 per barrel as speculators trimmed positions amid a weak trend in the Asian trade.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in July shed
5, or 0.11 percent, to
4,746 per barrel, having a business volume of 9,928 lots.
August crude lost
4, or 0.10 percent, to
