Crude oil futures fall 0.19% on global cues

Crude oil futures declined by 0.19 per cent to Rs 5,688 per barrel today in line with a weak trend in Asian trade. 

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in September shed Rs 11, or 0.19 per cent, to Rs 5,688 per barrel, with a business volume of 881 lots. 

Oil prices for October delivery moved down by a similar margin to trade at Rs 5,703 per barrel, with a business volume of 45 lots. 

 the fall in crude oil futures was mostly in tandem with a weakening trend in Asian trade on fading fears that conflicts in crude producers Libya and Iraq could result in a major supply disruption. 

Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude oil for delivery in October was down by six cents to $ 93.39 while Brent for October eased 24 cents to $ 102.04 a barrel in late-morning trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
