Crude oil prices rose by Rs 57 to Rs 4,602 per barrel in futures trading on Friday as speculators enlarged their positions, driven by a firm trend in Asian trade.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in March rose by Rs 57, or 1.25 per cent, to Rs 4,602 per barrel, with a business volume of 24 lots.
