Crude oil futures fell Rs 10 to Rs 4,117 per barrel today as speculators reduced bets amid a weak trend overseas.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude for delivery in April dropped Rs 10 or 0.24 per cent to Rs 4,117 per barrel in 1,922 lots. The oil for delivery in May lost similar ground to quote at Rs 4,127 per barrel in 56 lots.

Marketmen said trading sentiments dampened at the futures trade after crude oil prices eased in global markets.

Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 15 cents, or 0.24 per cent, to $63.36, while Brent crude shed 19 cents, or 0.28 per cent, to $67.93 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
