NEW DELHI, Sept 1: Crude oil futures declined 0.15 per cent to Rs 5,822 per barrel today in line with a mixed trend in Asian trade.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in September shed Rs 9, or 0.15 per cent, to Rs 5,822 per barrel, with a business volume of 645 lots.
Oil prices for October delivery moved down by Rs 7, or 0.12 per cent, to trade at Rs 5,804 per barrel, with a business volume of 56 lots.
