NEW DELHI, Sept 4: Crude oil futures prices today fell by 1.82 per cent to Rs 7,392 per barrel, after speculators reduced exposures amid a mixed trend in Asian trade.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in October fell by Rs 137, or 1.82 per cent, to Rs 7,392 per barrel in 1,246 lots.
