New Delhi: Crude oil prices fell Rs 18 to Rs 5,589 per barrel in the futures trade on Tuesday, February 3, amid weak global trends as oversupply concerns weighed on prices.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil futures for March delivery slipped by Rs 18, or 0.32 per cent, to Rs 5,589 per barrel in a business turnover of 376 lots.
