  • Crude oil futures fell 0.15 per cent to Rs 4,036 per barrel on Friday after participants reduced positions amid a weak trend in global markets. Marketmen said the fall in crude oil futures was mostly due to trimming of positions by traders in tandem with a weak trend overseas.
  • Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude oil was trading down 0.90 per cent to USD 56.20. Brent Crude, the international benchmark, fell 0.61 per cent to trade at USD 60.71 a barrel.
  • China's surprise decision to include crude oil in its latest round of tariffs on imports from the US is unlikely to restrict the overall US-Asia crude trade flows as various other Asian buyers are keen to pick up any US crude cargoes diverted from Chinese buyers.
  • However, US crude oil suppliers are expected to largely shrug off the latest counter measures from Asia's biggest oil consumer as demand for the US product remains robust in the region.
  • US crude oil has increasingly become a staple for many Asian refineries, with the sharp increase in US crude procurement from refiners in South Korea, Taiwan, India and Thailand more than making up for the cut back in China's purchases this year.
