Crude oil futures rose 0.5 per cent to Rs 6,201 per barrel today as speculators created positions amid a firm trend in Asian market.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in June gained Rs 31 or 0.50 per cent to Rs 6,201 per barrel with a business turnover of 775 lots.
Similarly, the oil for July delivery moved up by Rs 30 or 0.49 per cent to Rs 6,179 per barrel with a business volume of 52 lots.
Marketmen said the rise in crude oil futures was largely in tandem with a firm trend in Asian trade ahead of the release of a key indicator of US energy demand and a meeting of the OPEC oil cartel.
Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude prices for July delivery advanced by 4 cents to $104.39 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
