Crude oil futures today fell 0.28 per cent to Rs 6,077 per barrel as speculators trimmed positions amid a weak trend in Asian trade.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in May fell Rs 17 or 0.28 per cent to Rs 6,094 per barrel in 495 lots.
Besides, the oil for June delivery moved down by Rs 14 or 0.23 per cent to Rs 6,072 per barrel in 48 lots.
Analysts said that the fall in crude oil prices at the futures trade was primarily after it fell in the Asian trade, following a rally in the previous session.
